Beat the charge with our
ulez-friendly options

What is ULEZ?

London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is a regulation that the government
are introducing in Central London to reduce air pollution. If you or your fleet
uses a vehicle that fails to meet the stricter emissions standards, the daily charges will nearly double when entering ULEZ. You can get up to speed with ULEZ and the other regulations on their way in our guide on the impact of ULEZ and CAZ on UK businesses.

What is LEZ?

The UK's Low Emissions Zones (LEZ) are in a number of major cities across the country including Brighton, Oxford, Norwich, Sheffield, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen and Manchester. The LEZ charges are geared towards heavy diesel vehicles such as lorries, vans and coaches and operates 24 hours a day every day of the year. 

What vans does the ULEZ charge apply to?

It is estimated that more than 80% of vans on the road today fail to meet the emissions standards (Source: Commercial Fleet 2018). Non-Euro 6 compliant diesel vans will be subject to ULEZ charges as they do not meet the emissions standards. Euro 6 diesel vans were first sold from September 2016, so any diesel vans that you’ve acquired before then are unlikely to meet the emissions standards. If you know your registration number, you can check whether your vehicle will meet the ULEZ standards via a tool provided by TfL (Transport for London).
