The ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) has been introduced in London.
How can I avoid the charge?
To be exempt from the Ulez charge, petrol cars, vans and minibuses must meet the Euro 4 emissions standard and diesels must meet Euro 6. That means the oldest cars that can be driven in central London without paying are roughly a four-year-old diesel model or a 13-year-old petrol model.If you fail to pay the charge, car drivers face a £160 Penalty Charge Notice .What if I don’t know my vehicle’s emissions standard?.London mayor Sadiq Khan says the scheme will improve the capital’s air quality, which he says is responsible for thousands of premature deaths and other serious conditions.
They also warn that expanding the zone to the whole of inner London will not effectively tackle pollution and will affect people and businesses in areas with low pollution.
