DUNCAN ALDRED, MANAGING DIRECTOR, VAUXHALL MOTORS, RESPONDS TO GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCEMENT ON UK ULTRA-LOW CARBON CAR INCENTIVE

‘Today’s announcement is good news for the UK. Stimulation of new low-carbon vehicle technology with incentives assures that the significant investment being made by both vehicle and infrastructure manufacturers will result in more buoyant sales and a fast track to the considerable impact low-carbon vehicles can make on our environment.  The recent tour of the Vauxhall Ampera in the UK has shown that an extended-range electric vehicle can be accepted as daily family transport, the sector of the market that can have the most impact on both sales and the awareness of the benefits of low carbon transport.’
