Campaign To Encourage Switch To Low Emissions Motoring Launched

IN A bid to boost consumer awareness of the increasing numbers of low emissions vehicles entering the market, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg MP has helped to launch a new promotional campaign. Backed by some of the automotive world's biggest players - BMW, Nissan, Renault, Toyota and Vauxhall – the 12-month long ‘Go Ultra Low' campaign will prompt car buyers to consider the benefits of pure electric, plug-in hybrid and extended-range vehicles with information about their low running costs, ease of charging and impressive range. Consumers will be directed to new website, (www.GoUltraLow.com) offering information about owning and running such vehicles, the makes and models available and the locations of the thousands of publicly available electricity charging points.

Difference is, when they fill their dream garages, people pay attention.
