The scenarios investigate the replacement of old heavy duty vehicles with domestic products, imported vehicles and the combination of domestic products and imported vehicles respectively for a period of five years. According to the overall results, it is understood that from the government's, view replacement of older trucks with domestic and imported products is suitable.
