Diesel vans and the coming tax

[chris day]

Hello guys
Moving forward giving the daily charge of £10 in most large cities to drive a diesel vehicle what are you doing in the wake of this?

 

[telectrix]

keeping out of large cities. ssssimplessss.

 

[Toneyz]

what happens if you already live in a large city ?

Push bike, with a drum of 2.5 on one side or the handle bar and a drum of 1.5 on the other side.

 

[telectrix]

but i don't and i wouldn't. lived in stoke for some years. got pi$$ed off with spending more time sitting in traffic than working.

Or joking aside, and its very topical, the next thing we will be told to do is go petrol, and forget diesel - what were you thinking of. Until in x years time some scientist says petrol engines are the devils disciples, you should be driven diesel

Isn't it just old ones? Like tels.
If they stopped all dielsels vehicles no one will de able to get to the shops as no buses or taxi, if your in walking distance to shops you will be ok but as the HGV's that deliver the stock to the shops can not get in you would have nothing to buy, so this way of thinking will make goat towns as city shopping will become so expensive, we will end up having to go out of town to buy things the city's will go bust everyone will move to the out off town places then

I remember moving to diesels back in 1997, we where told by the government it's better for the environment. Diesel was cheaper to courage us all, tax on a diesel was cheaper.
Next they will be telling us that eggs are bad for us.
Personally I'm sticking with my diesel lump, mainly because the cities I work in don't charge.
I may think differently when they do.

If I take my van inside the M25 it costs me £100!:-0 The answer is electric vans, saw an old milk float the other day! In all seriousness think the manufacturers will adapt and start putting bi turbo petrol lumps in vans.

Don't think it applies to Euro 6 vans

 

[chris day]

Don't think it applies to Euro 6 vans

no it does no apply to euro 6 vans or any diesel van that was manufactured after 2015

Again the rich get richer the poor get poorer - if you only get away with it with a 2015 Euro 6 you have to have the readies to begin with!
I want to live in the 'goat' town that @egg67 was talking about - you can't kid a kidder!
I need to go to bed!
@telectrix - sell me your van, you can buy a milk float!

could probably run on methane gas from the house of commons.

House of commons fleet runs on our burnt old banknotes, they don't even need to pay heed to the London Low Emission Zone for the polution it causes, profits go toward writing stuff like the 18th edition to make more profit.........sorry.... rant over.....been a sunny day and spent a few hours in the beer garden making politicians even richer!
