Porsche statement on TfL’s CO2 claims

Andy Goss, Managing Director of Porsche Great Britain, released the following statement on the latest claims from TfL on CO2 emissions under their proposed £25 congestion charge:

"The Mayor and TfL have not provided all of the facts on their unfair £25 tax on motorists to the public. What those facts reveal is that this new tax is predicted to increase the level of CO2 emitted in Greater London and to reduce levels of air quality. While Porsche continues to provide Londoners with a range of vehicles with reduced CO2 emissions and other pollutants, the Mayor and TfL pursue policies that are not evidence-based. To change the research at this late stage calls into question the facts upon which the public was consulted and the facts upon which the mayor's decision to introduce the emissions charge is based in the first place."
