Everything you need to know about ULEZ and Clean air zone. Is your vehicle compliant? Do you have an older vehicle that may need to be replaced?
ULEZ stands for Ultra Low Emission Zone. It is a zone implemented in certain areas to improve air quality by setting emission standards for vehicles.
To be ULEZ compliant, petrol vehicles must meet Euro 4 standards, and diesel vehicles must meet Euro 6 standards for emissions.
The ULEZ charge in London is £12.50 for most vehicle types, including cars, motorcycles, and vans. Heavier vehicles like lorries and buses have higher charges.
The ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays.
If you drive a non-compliant vehicle in the ULEZ without paying the charge, you may receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) and be liable for a fine.
