The vehicle scrappage scheme has been fully taken up and closed, Transport Malta said.

The latest scheme was announced in the Budget and extended in April.

A subsidy for the purchase of 892 vehicles was given as part of the scheme - a total of €700,000.

In terms of the scheme, motorists were encouraged to scrap their old vehicle and benefit from a subsidy when they bought a new car with low emissions.

The subsidy was between €700 and €900.
