2012 Emission Charges

In less than a year, hauliers entering Greater London will face yet further restrictions based on their vehicles emission levels. January 3rd 2012 sees the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) incorporate new requirements affecting both trucks and large vans and vehicles not meeting legal guidelines will be charged up to £200 per day for entering the Greater London area.

Ultimately these new laws leave hauliers and those reliant on large vehicles to either:

  • Purchase a new truck or van which is Euro IV or Euro V compliant
  • Have a converter kit installed to ensure you vehicle meets the required Euro 1V level
  • Simply avoid entering Greater London.

At a rime when business owners are already battling rising operating costs, not least the constant rise in fuel prices, this is another issue that need careful consideration.
