Non-compliant vehicles are those that do not adhere to the rigorous emission standards established by the ULEZ. These vehicles incur ULEZ charges when operated within the designated zone. This page offers a detailed examination of the types of vehicles commonly identified as non-compliant with ULEZ regulations.
Pay the ULEZ Charge1. Older Diesel Cars: A significant number of older diesel cars fail to meet the Euro 6 emissions standards mandated by the ULEZ. These vehicles often emit elevated levels of harmful pollutants.
2. Non-Compliant Petrol Cars: Petrol cars falling short of Euro 4 emissions standards or higher are also categorized as non-compliant. These older petrol vehicles contribute to air pollution in the ULEZ area.
3. Motorcycles and Mopeds: Motorcycles and mopeds not meeting Euro 3 emissions standards or higher are subject to ULEZ charges. Despite their smaller size, these vehicles can still exert a notable impact on air quality.
4. Large Vehicles: Buses and lorries failing to meet Euro VI emissions standards are among the foremost contributors to air pollution. These heavy-duty vehicles are closely monitored within the ULEZ.
Vehicle owners are strongly encouraged to verify their vehicle's compliance with ULEZ regulations. This can be accomplished by checking the vehicle's Euro emissions standard, typically specified in the vehicle's documentation or by contacting the manufacturer.
By identifying non-compliant vehicles and taking measures to address their emissions, London can make substantial progress in enhancing air quality and overall environmental health.
