Southern Taiwan has been battered by continuous heavy rains and a low-pressure system, leading to significant flooding in Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung. The deluge has resulted in extensive damage to numerous motorcycles, prompting SYM, a major scooter manufacturer, to launch a "Flood Relief" initiative.
The special program, aimed at assisting those affected in the "Greater Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung" regions, offers a 2,000 NT dollar subsidy for owners trading in their old SYM models for designated new ones, including the WOO115 and the new Duke 125. This initiative seeks to help residents quickly restore their daily transportation.
Furthermore, SYM is providing an 80% discount on a selection of original replacement parts for flood-damaged vehicles in the affected areas. The discounted parts include essential components such as air filters, switches, spark plugs, speedometers, relays, CDI units, and ECUs. This offer is valid from August 26 to September 15, with the vehicle's registration date determining eligibility for the trade-in discount.
This flood relief program is available at all SYM dealerships in the specified regions. Technicians at these service centers will assess the damage to determine if parts are water-damaged and eligible for the 80% discount, which excludes labor costs. Certain vehicles, including government fleet vehicles, special sales, and those purchased through online channels or hypermarkets, are not eligible for these promotions.
