LONDON: Three major car manufacturers have joined the UK Government’s campaign aiming to promote the benefits of ultra-low emissions vehicles (ULEVs).
Audi, Mitsubishi and Volkswagen have pledged to support the Go Ultra Low initiative joining BMW, Nissan, Renault and Toyota.
The manufacturers together offer 15 ULEVs, all of which are available for the government plug-in grant of up to £5,000 for a car and up to £8,000 for a van.
Statistics from the government suggest 25,000 vehicles have been bought through the scheme so far.
Transport Minister Baroness Kramer said: “The public are increasingly seeing the benefits of ultra-low emission vehicles, which have low running costs and are easily chargeable at home or on the street.”
