Non-compliant vehicles are those that do not meet the strict emission standards set by the ULEZ. These vehicles incur charges when driven within the designated zone. This page provides an overview of the most common types of vehicles that fail to comply with ULEZ regulations.
Pay the ULEZ Charge1. Older Diesel Cars: Many older diesel cars do not meet the Euro 6 emissions standards required by ULEZ. These vehicles tend to release high levels of harmful pollutants.
2. Non-Compliant Petrol Cars: Petrol cars that fail to meet Euro 4 emissions standards are considered non-compliant. Older petrol vehicles contribute significantly to air pollution within the ULEZ area.
3. Motorcycles and Mopeds: Two-wheelers that do not meet Euro 3 emissions standards are subject to ULEZ charges. Despite their smaller size, they can still have a considerable impact on air quality.
4. Large Vehicles: Buses and lorries that fail to meet Euro VI emissions standards are among the largest contributors to air pollution. These heavy-duty vehicles are closely monitored within the ULEZ.
Vehicle owners are strongly advised to check whether their vehicle complies with ULEZ regulations. This can be done by reviewing the vehicle’s Euro emissions standard, which is usually found in the vehicle documentation or by contacting the manufacturer.
By identifying and addressing non-compliant vehicles, London can take significant steps toward improving air quality and promoting a healthier environment for all.
