Volvo claims victory in major changes to congestion charge
Volvo has claimed the changes announced to the congestion charge by London mayor Boris Johnson recently are a victory in its year long campaign to address an 'unfair' charging structure.
The new system will be introduced in the New Year, and cars emitting less than 100g/km CO2 and meeting strict Euro 5 emissions regulations will now qualify for free entry to the congestion zone. Where hybrids previously enjoyed blanket qualification they too will now have to meet the new standards to get free access.
