More funds pumped into US scrappage scheme

The US Senate has approved a further $2bn (£1.19bn) for the car scrappage scheme after initial funds of $1bn ran out in 10 days.

Senators voted by 60 to 37 in favour of more funding for the government’s Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), dubbed the “cash for clunkers” plan.

Owners of old cars and trucks gain up to $4,500 towards a new vehicle in exchange for their old model.

Recent figures showed US car sales in July were boosted by the scheme.
