Low Emission Vehicles in London
Camden Council, in conjunction with Transport for London, Clear Zones and the City of Westminster are holding a seminar with exhibition and vehicle display on 22nd March 2007.
The aim is help people get the ‘low down on low emission vehicles in London’ and discover practical solutions that help people save money on their transport costs and demonstrate a responsible environmental policy.
Organisers are suggesting that people could save up to £8000* per year by switching to a low-emission vehicle.
If you are going to be in London on Thursday 22nd March 2007 (the event will be held in the New Connaught Rooms, 61-65 Great Queen Street, Covent Garden, London WC2B 5DA
9.30am-12.30pm followed by lunch and opportunity to view stands and vehicles) why not register for this FREE event?
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis - REGISTRATION IS ESSENTIAL. Click this link to register: http://www.lowemissionvehicles.info/register.htm
* Savings are applicable to London only, and if you changed a conventional petrol or diesel car for an electric vehicle (such as the G-Wiz) you could save this amount:
- Exemption from the London congestion charge - worth over £2,000 per year
- Exemption from road tax
- Free parking on meters and in pay & display bays in Westminster and the City
- Free on-street park & charge points in Covent Garden
- Minimum 96% discount on central London MasterPark season tickets (just £200 per year and worth over £6,000 per year), with 52 free charging points
- Free parking in 7 City of London car parks (6 with free charging points)
- 100% Year 1 tax write down and 9% company car tax
- Fuel for 1.3p per mile (on average just £40 to £50 per year)
- Group 1 insurance (fully comprehensive in London just £300 per year average)
Maybe other major cities and urban areas should bring in measures to make low-emission vehicles a more financially as well as environmentally attractive choice to vehicle users (as well as continual improvements to public transport too).
