To mark the introduction of the new Greener Vehicle Discount for the capital's Congestion Charge, Volvo has been offering a free chauffeuring service into Central London in three of its low-emission DRIVe models. New rules mean that, any Euro 5 compliant car, regardless of powertrain with CO2 emissions under 100g/km will be exempt from the 10 daily charge.
Volvo's 'DRIVe for free' campaign has been providing a chauffeur-driven service in a Volvo C30 sportscoupe, Volvo S40 saloon or Volvo V50 sportswagon for people attending appointments and meetings in the Congestion Charge zone which means they are leaving their used Volvo S80 at home. All three models qualify for the Greener Vehicle Discount thanks to CO2 emissions of just 99g/km.Volvo's 'DRIVe for free' campaign has been providing a chauffeur-driven service in a Volvo C30 sportscoupe, Volvo S40 saloon or Volvo V50 sportswagon for people attending appointments and meetings in the Congestion Charge zone which means they are leaving their used Volvo S80 at home.

Volvo currently offers three models with CO2 emissions of just 99g/km, a Volvo V60 estate with plug-in hybrid technology that emits less than 50g/km CO2 will be launched in 2012 and prototype versions of a full battery-electric C30 are already undergoing evaluation.
The introduction of the new Greener Vehicle Discount follows a successful 18-month campaign led by Volvo Car UK, which called for a review of the previous Alternative Fuel Discount of the congestion zone charging by London Mayor Boris Johnson.The introduction of the new Greener Vehicle Discount follows a successful 18-month campaign led by Volvo Car UK, which called for a review of the previous Alternative Fuel Discount of the congestion zone charging by London Mayor Boris Johnson.
Peter Rask, Regional President of Volvo Car UK, said: "Through our ongoing Emissions Equality campaign, Volvo has been instrumental in persuading the Mayor to change the Congestion Charge rules and create a level playing field for all vehicles regardless of powertrain. The new system addresses the unfairness of the old pricing structure, which granted automatic Congestion Charge exemption to all hybrid vehicles, despite the fact that certain models had higher emissions than some non-qualifying petrol or diesel powered models."
