TOYOTA AYGO AND DIESEL YARIS JOIN PRIUS AS “FREEMEN OF LONDON”
 Low emissions qualify for new congestion charge exemption
Changes to the
Central London Congestion Charge announced today open the way for even
more Toyota vehicles to travel in the capital for free. From 27
October, cars in bands A and B for Vehicle Excise Duty – those emitting
less than 120g/km of carbon dioxide – will receive a 100 per cent
discount.
As a master of
small car design and clean engine technology, Toyota is well placed to
benefit from the adjustment. All Aygo and diesel-powered Yaris models
will join the hybrid power Prius as charge-busting vehicles.
In all there are
35 Toyota models that are charge-exempt, when different body styles,
transmissions and specifications are taken into account. And the even
better news is that Toyota’s product strategy promises more low
emissions models in the not-too-distant future.
