Hyundai sign up to Go Ultra Low campaign

Hyundai is set to join other members of the Go Ultra Low initiative, which aims to raise awareness of ultra low emission vehicles.

They will join Audi, BMW, Nissan, Kia, Renault and Volkswagen, following an increase in electric car registrations.

Nearly 37,000 electric vehicles were registered in the UK in 2016, which is a 29 per cent increase in comparison to 2015.

This increase brings the total number of EVs registered to more than 87,000 and if this rate of growth continues, Go Ultra Low predicts that there could be in excess of 100,000 ultra-low emission cars on our roads by mid-2017.

Poppy Welch, head of Go Ultra Low, said: “Hyundai joins the Go Ultra Low campaign at an exciting time for the electric car industry, as the variety and capabilities of ultra-low emission vehicles make them an increasingly attractive option for UK motorists.

“2016 was an unprecedented year for plug-in vehicle registrations as more and more motorists realise the cost-saving and environmental benefits of driving an ultra-low emission car. We expect this year to be better still with even more new electric vehicles coming to market.”
