London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)

[Nigel]

From 8th April 2019 card and vans not meeting the Euro 6 Standard on emissions will need to pay a £12.50 charge to enter London on top of the £11.50 Congestion Charge.

You can check if your vehicle is compliant here

None of my vans meet this so now looking to get new vans.

There’s going to be allot of firms that are going to have to spend getting new veichles.

 

[Toneyz]

Do you do a lot of work in that area then? How do you manage to park near the job?

There's going to be a lot of firms adding an extra £12.50 on their customers bills each time they get charged.

Another reason I'm glad I don't live in London, not that I needed another.

You're not wrong there, chief. Horrible place!

I have four vans and all would need changing. Potentially costing me an extra £1000 per month in ULEZ charges, so looking at lease deals a decent van is about £250 a month so also £1000 per month for four.

I would then save on repairs as they will be under warranty, also creating a saving on engineer down time and RAC cover as most come with free road-side assistance also.

So there will be a glut of second hand vans next year for the rest of the country

Yeah. We cover almost every major railway station in London and we have parking there for free.

Probably Renault Traffic’s.

I like Transits but for passengers they are so bad as there is literally no leg room.
