Around 60,000 vehicle owners a day are paying the £12.50 fee for entering London ’s expanded ultra low emission zone , new figures show.
Enforcement action is taken is response to around 3% of non-compliant vehicles due to the Ulez charge not being paid.London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the increase in the proportion of vehicles in the expanded area that comply with the emissions standards from 85% in May 2022 to 95% in September will “make a huge difference”.
For petrol cars to meet the emissions standards, they must generally have been first registered after 2005.Mr Khan said: “I’ve always said that the decision to expand the Ulez was very difficult, but a month on from the expansion we can already see that it is working. “What we still don’t know is how the expansion has affected families on low incomes who could no longer afford to run their non-compliant vehicles or purchase a newer one.”
