The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is now less than a year away. Unless vehicles are compliant with Euro 6 emissions standards, they will incur a daily penalty of £100 per bus, coach or truck.
The ULEZ is part of a range of measures that are being rolled out to reduce pollution in the capital. Initially covering central London, there are plans to expand the ULEZ in the following two years to include most of greater London too.
Operators can avoid the penalty fees either by purchasing new Euro 6 vehicles or by retrofitting their existing vehicles with exhaust treatment systems such as GreenUrban’s ecoNOxt™ which enables the vehicles to reach the Euro 6 standard.
In addition to the London ULEZ, more than 30 other cities will be introducing Clean Air Zones which will work in a similar way to the London ULEZ.
