Audi, Volkswagen and Mitsubishi join the environmental cause as they sign up to promote the government's 'Go Ultra Low' campaign.
GoUltraLow.com is the place to go if you're seeking information on the low-emission vehicles that are available and the related government grants. Audi, Volkswagen and Mitsubishi join existing members BMW, Nissan, Renault and Toyota in supporting the campaign.
Baroness Kramer (Transport Minister) 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. We now have 7 manufacturers campaigning to show the wide range of styles and prices available so even more people will see what's on offer, and the significant government help available."
Hetal Shah (Go Ultra Low spokesperson) said:
"More UK car-buyers are realising the advantages of owning an ultra-low emission vehicle, and the aim of the newly-expanded Go Ultra Low consortium is to share the multiple benefits with a wider audience. We've discovered that once people learn more about the benefits of these cars and vans, they're keen to take action - and once they've tried them, they're hooked."
Together, the manufacturers involved in the Go Ultra Low campaign offer a range of 15 ULEVs, full details of costs and performance of each vehicle is available on the website - GoUltraLow.com
Essentially, the government offers to pay £5,000 towards the purchase of every ULEV car and £8,000 towards the purchase of a ULEV van. In excess of 25,000 grant claims have already been submitted to the government since the scheme began in 2010.
The grant scheme is due to continue until 2017 unless the maximum total of 50,000 grants is reached in the meantime.
