Hyundai Canada unveils industry-leading clean air commitment
As part of its environmental goal to help clean the air we breathe today and into the future, Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. announced last week the Clean Air Commitment - a financial top-up of up to $1,000 on the federal government's scrappage program whose aim is to get the oldest, worst-polluting vehicles off the road and encourage Canadians to select more sustainable transportation alternatives.
This is so easy, you only need to get rid** of your registered and insured 1995 model year or older vehicle (in running condition) and Hyundai will top up any available government incentive with up to $1000 in additional Clean Air Cash on a fuel-efficient new vehicle.
Hyundai is the first auto manufacturer in Canada to launch such a top-up program.
"Hyundai is committed to clean air in Canada," said Steve Kelleher, president and CEO, Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. "Our Clean Air Commitment is about our responsibility to deliver a harmonious balance between vehicles and the environment; it's about clean air now and for the future. Reducing vehicle emissions has a direct impact on the air we breathe, so helping to remove older, more-polluting vehicles from the road just makes sense. It's something we can do today to immediately impact our environment. We think that's pretty smart."

*1995 model year and older vehicles produce 19 times more smog-forming pollutants than 2004 and newer models?
*By recycling your old vehicle with a government program, you’re keeping it out of landfills and preventing dangerous toxins from being released into our air, ground and water.
