DS3 99g, C3 AIRDREAM+ 99g & C-ZERO
ELIGIBLE FOR FREE CONGESTION CHARGE IN 2011
Following the Mayor of London’s recent
announcement that all Euro 5 compliant cars emitting 100g/km CO2
or less will be able to enter the Congestion Charging zone free of
charge from 4th January 2011; Citroën is pleased to offer
three stylish, efficient and well-equipped models that will be eligible
for the 100% discount - saving London drivers around £2,500 per year.
With CO2 emissions of just
99g/km, the distinctive DS3 DStyle 99g and the stylish New C3 Airdream+,
both powered by Citroën’s efficient and refined 1.6HDi 90hp engine, will
be exempt from the new £10 daily charge. From 4th January,
owners will be able to register their Citroën models for the Greener
Vehicle Discount, which allows a 100% discount from the Congestion
Charge for vehicles with CO2 emissions of 100g/km or less and
that meet the Euro 5 standard for air quality. A £10 annual
registration payment per car applies.
C-Zero, Citroën’s new full-electric
city car, will also be eligible for the Electric Vehicle & Plug-in
Electric Hybrid Vehicle 100% discount when first deliveries commence in
January.
Linda Jackson, Citroën UK’s Managing
Director commented: “Citroën continues to make significant progress in
reducing emissions across its whole range with innovative new
technologies and a focus on environmentally-considerate manufacturing
processes. We are delighted London drivers will benefit from Citroën’s
low-CO2 conventionally powered and all-electric vehicles.
Our models are proof that environmentally conscious transport doesn’t
mean compromising on style, comfort or driver pleasure.”
To be launched in January, Citroën’s
family-sized New C4 range includes a 109g/km model that will reduce to
99g/km on future models, joining the sub-100g/km CO2 line-up.
Thanks to their low emissions, both DS3
and New C3 models qualify for free VED, providing a further annual
saving. |
