If you are looking to buy a new truck you need to remember that the end of the Reduced Pollution Certificate (RPC) is looming. All operators are reminded that all Euro 5 compliant truck engines, in advance of the mandatory deadline for implementation, are eligible for up to £500 annual VED benefit on the largest vehicles providing the vehicle is registered and taxed before 1st October 2009.
As there is still no clear indication that the UK government will introduce an incentive scheme when Euro 5 becomes mandato
ry, operators who want to continue to take advantage of the annual VED benefit applied to environmentally cleaner engines should consider placing orders now.
“Currently, the £500 VED annual benefit will disappear from 1st October, when Euro 5 becomes mandatory.” says Volvo’s Commercial Truck Director Ian Mitchell, “However, as long as they register and tax the vehicle before the 1st October deadline, operators can claim the RPC for all Euro 5 engined Volvo trucks, including those fitted with the new range engines.”
