South Korea Enforces Vehicle Rotation Amid Energy Concerns
The move is part of the government’s energy-saving measures designed to offset the effects of global energy shortages, the Climate Ministry stated. Under the system, vehicles are divided into five groups based on the last digit of their license plates, with each group prohibited from driving on a designated weekday. Electric and hydrogen vehicles are exempt from the restrictions.
Previously, the rotation system had been implemented in a more relaxed manner, but stricter enforcement will now apply to approximately 1.5 million vehicles. Authorities expect the measure to save roughly 3,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
South Korea consumes around 2.8 million barrels of crude oil daily, with roughly half allocated for transportation.
