That charge is £12.50 for cars, motorcycles, and vans, and £100 for heavier vehicles, including lorries over 3.5 tons plus buses and coaches over 5 tons. Any vehicle that isn’t ULEZ compliant has to pay a charge for entering the zone. The control district was expanded in October, 2021 to cover an area 18 x the size of the central London congestion charge area.Įnforcement is based on the declared emissions of a vehicle, rather than its age. Among other things, the ULEZ aims to limit harmful pollution such as particulate matter, NO2, and CO2 gases. The London Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) was introduced in an effort to improve the quality of the air that people breathe in central London by cutting the number of older, higher polluting cars taking journeys through the capital. London Mayor Sadiq Khan unveiled in 2019 an additional £12.50 daily charge on older, higher emission vehicles. Zero emission vehicles are eligible for a 100% discount - all someone has to do is apply for a Cleaner Vehicle Discount right on the Transport for London website. London’s congestion charge was introduced in 2003 with the aim of reducing traffic and pollution in the capital. What is the London Ultra Low Emissions Zone? With the bad comes a slight good.ĮVs sales are on the rise in London and surrounding areas, in large part due to policies that discourage internal combustion engines (ICEs) and promote transportation that alleviates air pollution. This is an average concentration level, yet it is approximately 19% lower than in 2016. Today’s PM2.5 concentration in London is currently 1.4 times the WHO annual air quality guideline value. London is the 9th largest emitter of CO2 in the world, and pollution affects everyone who lives and works in London. Particulate pollution can harm human hearts and lungs. Most pollution in London is caused by road transport and domestic and commercial heating systems. Suddenly, electric vehicles (EVs) seem very appealing to Londoners.Īir pollution refers to substances in the air that harm health and welfare, plant or animal life. Air quality in London has improved in recent years as a result of policies to reduce emissions, primarily from road transport - the city introduced some of the toughest restrictions on heavily polluting cars anywhere. Traffic congestion once meant that residents of the British capital had to endure some of the worst air quality in the western world.
