The Generalitat begins the removal of damaged vehicles from municipal fields

• A registration check is being carried out to guarantee traceability, expertise and subsequent treatment
• The measure is a transitory solution of the Generalitat until the Government approves the Royal Decree Law that streamlines the processing of expertise and registration of vehicles

The Generalitat has started this Monday the removal of damaged vehicles from some of the municipal camps that are close to essential infrastructure, such as schools. This initiative aims to guarantee the safety and health of the inhabitants of the affected towns.

The system implemented by the Ministry of Environment, Infrastructure and Territory wants to ensure the urgent transfer of these vehicles to places far from urban centers, as well as adequate custody and traceability, which will facilitate the necessary procedures for the corresponding expertise. The first vehicles have been removed from the Paiporta municipal camp and moved to authorized points such as Picassent.

This measure represents a transitory solution of the Generalitat in order to start the withdrawal of the vehicles until the Royal Decree Law is approved that the central Government has committed to approve in order to speed up the expertise procedures and the discharges for their final treatment in authorized plants (CAT).

During the transfer process, a registration check will be carried out, whose information will be sent periodically to the DGTIC to include the location data in the application developed by the Generalitat, thus making it easier for those interested to consult the location of the cars. It is estimated that there are around 120,000 damaged vehicles.

The "Localize Vehicle" application, available on the Som Solidaritat portal , has been specifically designed to facilitate the search and registration of vehicles affected by floods, providing information on their location and status. For its development, the Generalitat has counted on the collaboration of the Diputación de Valencia, the Civil Guard, the Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros and the Dirección General de Trafico.
