Key assessment
The average age of passenger cars increased from 6.1 years in 1980 to 7.3 years in 1998. The penetration rate of more modern technologies is therefore slowing. Car scrappage schemes may have beneficial effects through the introduction of cleaner vehicles, but may increase the environmental consequences of vehicle construction and dismantling.
