The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) will be expanded to cover the whole of London from August 29th 2023 in a bid to improve air quality.
The Mayor of London has announced a daily zone fee of £12.50 for vehicles not meeting the minimum standards required to enter the low emission zone, the ULEZ standards. In order to avoid the 'ULEZ' fee, your vehicle must be Euro 6 standard. This generally covers vans and cars registered since 2016.
A van, car or commercial vehicle driver entering the zone in an older vehicle, every working day for a year, will incur more than £3,100 a year in charges. Worse still, those who fail or forget to pay face a £160 penalty each day, which is halved if paid within a fortnight. That's in addition to the Congestion Zone charge if you travel in the centre of London - it all adds up.
There is lots of information about the latest updates to the ULEZ Scrappage Grant Scheme, but the basics are that from 21st August 2023 ANYONE living in one of the 32 London boroughs or the City of London, with an eligible vehicle, can apply to scrap a non-compliant car, van, wheelchair accessible vehicle or motorcycle. Eligible drivers, charities and businesses can then apply for a grant to help fund a compliant, greener transport option.
