What is the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)?

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) was launched in April 2019. Its purpose is to reduce harmful vehicle emissions and thereby improve air quality. It does so by encouraging the use of cars that produce low / zero exhaust emissions and discouraging those vehicles which produce high-emission levels.

Which Areas Does ULEZ Affect?

Currently, ULEZ applies to all parts of London contained within the North and South Circular Roads – but from 29th August 2023, ULEZ will expand to include every London borough.
What are the ULEZ charges? A daily charge of £12.50 applies to anyone driving a vehicle within the Zone which isn’t ULEZ compliant and weighs up to 3,500 kg. Charge Times
Postcode Checker Since Allen Motor Group has many branches located inside or close to the Zone, it’s possible you’ll be liable for the ULEZ tariff. You can find out for sure by clicking on the ‘Postcode checker’ button below to explore a certain territory. Check my Postcode

New Low-Emission Cars

There are many good reasons for choosing a low or zero-exhaust-emissions car – exemption from ULEZ charges is just one of them. Hybrid and electric cars are affordable to run, kinder to the environment, and exempt from Clean Air Zone tariffs enforced in many other UK cities.

FAQs

Please check out our frequently asked questions below – if you still have a query, please don’t hesitate to contact your local Hyundai Retailer in Milton Keynes, Bletchley or Upminster.

Are There Any Other Incentives for Converting to a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle?

Close

Yes, the latest scrappage scheme provides eligible applicants with up to £2,000 when they scrap their existing, non-ULEZ-friendly vehicle. Full details can be found at https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone/scrappage-schemes.​​

Is There a Penalty for Driving in the Zone Without Paying the Fine?

Close

There is. In such circumstances, drivers are liable for a £180 penalty charge.

I Want to Buy a Hybrid Vehicle – Will It be Exempt from ULEZ Charges?

Close

Yes, all hybrid vehicles (mild, full and plug-in hybrids) meet with ULEZ emissions standards.

Do Any Hyundai Vehicles Produce Zero CO2 Exhaust Emissions?

Close

Yes, the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6 and KONA Electric are fully electric, which means they produce zero CO2 and NOx exhaust emissions. They’re also very cost effective to run, despite their considerable power.


Everything You Need to Know About ULEZ

This short video presented by Ross Lydall, Transport Editor of the Evening Standard, provides a handy guide to ULEZ.

Charging Your ULEZ-Friendly Plug-In Hybrid or Electric Vehicle

All mild hybrid and full hybrid Hyundai are self-charging, which means no driver input is required. Alternatively, plug-in hybrid and pure-electric Hyundai models need manual charging, which can be done at home, at work or at one of thousands of public charging points located across the UK.
