Scania is offering operators of any Euro 3 commercial vehicles what it describes as "an affordable compliance solution2 to the capital's forthcoming Low Emissions Zone (LEZ) Phase 4.
The truck manufacturer, which has six depots in and around the London area, has been developed with emissions control specialist Eminox and involves upgrading trucks, buses and coaches with a diesel particulate filtration system.
Scania now has a team of trained technicians at each of its London area branches providing a one-stop supply and fit service at an all-inclusive price.
Mark Grant, aftersales director for Scania, explains that, once fitted, vehicles are eligible for a reduced pollution certificate, entitling operators up to a £500 annual saving on the road fund licence.
He also says that the company's 24-hour service means fitment can be carried out overnight.
"We recognise that a proportion of operators will not wish to replace or renew their vehicles when LEZ Phase 4 comes into effect on 3 January 2012, and have therefore developed this cost-effective alternative," comments Grant.
"As with all other services from Scania, the quality of the work is fully guaranteed. With orders already approaching the 250 mark, the early indications are that the upgrade we are offering will prove extremely popular indeed."
