The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) began in earnest in September 2020 but was announced as far back as March 2015. It’s designed to make London’s air more breathable by discouraging owners of high-emissions vehicles from driving through the capital. It does so by enforcing a daily tariff.
Which Areas Does ULEZ Affect?
The ULEZ applies to areas of the capital located within the North and South Circular roads. From 29th August 2023, the zone will increase to include all London boroughs.
New Low-Emission Cars
Low and zero-emissions cars offer many benefits, not just exemption from ULEZ tariffs. They’re affordable to run, kinder to the environment, and free from any and all congestion / Clean Air Zone charges in other parts of the UK.
