London Expands Ultra Low Emissions Zone To Cover The Entire City Benefiting 5M More People | Carscoops carscoops
, whether a vehicle is charged depends on how much nitrogen dioxide it emits. In general, diesel vehicles registered after 2016, and gas vehicles registered after 2006, are exempt from the tax.
The move has led to resistance from both political rivals and driving groups, who view the tax as an unfair financial burden in a difficult time. Many Londoners, too, oppose the expansion, as a public consultation by Transport for London found that 80 percent of people in the newly announced area oppose being included in the ULEZ.
It has, however, been welcomed by clean air advocates like Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah. Her nine-year-old daughter, Ella, became the first person in the U.K. to have air pollution listed as a factor in the cause of her death after she tragically passed away in 2013. “When we had the inquest, we got the experts in Ella’s case to give some recommendations and all of them agreed ULEZ expansion was something that needed to be done to clean up the air in London,” Adoo-Kissi-Debrah said. “Clean air should be a human right.”
In conjunction with the expansion of the ULEZ, Transport for London said that it will expand bus services, help owners of non-compliant vehicles scrap or retrofit them, and that differently abled people who rely on their vehicles will be given an extended grace period.
