Mitsubishi has announced that the new
L200’s manual transmission variants will come with a 225 g/km CO2
emissions rating, placing them in the lower Congestion Charge band and
saving drivers £17 per trip in and out of the Capital.
The CO2 reduction secures
exemption from Transport for London’s (TfL) “Extended-cab dual purpose
pickup” congestion charge of £25 per day. Applicable to all new L200
registrations from April 1st 2008, a customer driving the revised L200
Club and Double Cab range with manual transmission will only pay £8 per
day.
Jim Tyrrell, Mitsubishi’s Managing
Director, stated that “the vast majority of our customers run a 4x4 for
a specific purpose – not simply as a fashion item. We have worked hard
to reduce the emissions levels wherever we can to help minimise any
negative financial impact on the thousands of businesses that have
chosen to use our pick-ups.”
The multiple award-winning L200 is also
renowned for its rugged practicality, off road prowess, high
specification, low running costs and numerous safety features –
including being the only vehicle in its class to boast stability and
traction control on all high series variants.
