What is ULEZ?

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) was created by Transport for London and intends to be implemented on August 29.

ULEZ are areas in London were motorists may be hit with an extra fee for driving vehicles with high pollution levels.

They operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year, bar Christmas.

It is similar to the congestion charge zone but is on a much larger in scale.

If your vehicle meets the ULEZ standards then you will be permitted to travel within ULEZ boundaries free of charge.

The only time you will not be charged in ULEZ zone for driving a non-compliant ULEZ vehicle is when it is parked.

According to the Transport for London website, the ULEZ standards currently are:

Euro 3 for motorcycles, mopeds, motorised tricycles and quadricycles
Euro 4 (NOx) for petrol cars, vans, minibuses and other specialist vehicles
Euro 6 (NOx and PM) for diesel cars, vans and minibuses and other specialist vehicles

The majority of diesel vehicles and petrol vehicles that are under 6 and 16 years old respectively, already meet the emissions standards.

Minibuses and coaches (all over 5 tonnes GVW) do not need to hand over the $12.50 ULEZ charge as well as lorries, vans and specialist heavy vehicles (all over 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)).
