On 4 April 2017, the Mayor of London confirmed his plans to introduce the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) for the centre of the capital.

Sadiq Khan, having laid out his plans in ‘A City for All Londoners’, published in October 2016, intends to introduce daily charges for heavy diesel vehicles to drive in central London, in an effort to tackle the city’s worsening air pollution problems.

ULEZ will come into force from 8th April 2019 and cover the same area as the existing congestion charging zone.

The zone will be widened across Greater London for heavy vehicles in 2020, and up to the North and South Circular roads for cars and vans in 2021.

A daily ULEZ fee will need to be paid by petrol vehicles that fail to meet Euro 4 standards (approximately those older than 13 years in 2019) and diesel vehicles that fail to meet Euro 6 standards (approximately those older than 4 years in 2019). These fees will apply 24-hours a day, all year round, will be in addition to the existing congestion charge, and are as follows:

* Cars, vans, motorbikes: £12.50/day.
* Buses, coaches, HGVs: £100/day.

Justifying his drastic plans, which will be the strictest city plans in the world, Khan said: “The air in London is lethal and I will not stand by and do nothing.”

However, his plans have sparked controversy and concerns that the plans could hit small businesses, van drivers and specialist hauliers particularly severely.

Natalie Chapman, Head of policy for London and South-east, Freight Transport Association (FTA), said:

“We need to continue the improvement in London’s air quality which is happening anyway, but this regulation taking effect in 2019 will severely disadvantage small businesses working in the capital’s centre.

“The impact will be especially hard for van users, as by 2019 there will only be two and a half years’ worth of compliant vehicles in the fleet – and no second hand compliant vehicles available for purchase at all.”

The FTA is calling for businesses to have access to a ‘sunset clause’, allowing them greater time to comply with the change required.

His plans come at the same time that new figures from the Department for Transport reveal that after years of declining numbers of cars and vans in central London, ride-sharing apps such as Uber and internet shopping deliveries to offices have led to a surge in recent years.
