 Following changes to Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) and annual road tax Citroen is offering the Irish motorist the widest choice of cars in ‘Band A’ - cars with 120g/km CO² emissions or less.Cars in this tax band qualify for the lowest rate of VRT at 14 per cent and pay annual road tax of only e100. Along with savings on both VRT and road tax, low CO² cars are the most fuel efficient. With ever rising fuel prices, a low CO² choice is both an environmental and economical choice. Along with the wide range of cars available in Band A, most other models in the range reduce substantially in price, with some dropping by as much as e3,330. Many models of Xsara Picasso, C4 Picasso (five seat), C4 Picasso (seven seat) C5, Multispace, C6 and C8 have all come down in price thanks to the way Vehicle Registration Tax is now calculated. Innovative technology and advanced diesel engines have put Citroen at the forefront in the reduction of CO² emissions across its entire car range. Citroen continues to invest in the future with technologies such as Ecodrive, where the engine automatically stops when the car is stopped in traffic, and restarts automatically once the driver presses the accelerator. Stopping and starting the engine repeatedly no longer causes excess fuel consumption. The reversible alternator and electronic fuel injection bring fuel savings of around 10 per cent, or 18g of CO2/km in the city. Concept cars such as the C-Cactus point the way to the future, with emissions of just 78g/ms of CO², the use of recycled materials and simple design features. The Airdream signature was developed to highlight Citroens commitment to the environment. The cleanest vehicles in the Citroen range will come under the Airdream heading. Vehicles must meet stringent criteria to qualify for the Airdream signature. They must emit less than 130g/km CO², be manufactured in a plant that is ISO 14001 certified and be designed to be 95 per cent recoverable (recycling and energy recovery) by weight at end of life. |
