The ULEZ is a very targeted scheme, and only affects a small minority of drivers. Around 200,000 out of the around 2.3 million vehicles seen driving in London on an average day are non-compliant. In outer London, nine out of ten cars and eight out of ten vans seen driving on an average day already meet the ULEZ standards, so their drivers will not have to pay the charge.
You can check whether your vehicle meets the ULEZ standards using TfL’s online vehicle checker. All petrol cars and vans registered new from 2006, and diesel cars and vans from 2016, will meet the ULEZ standards.
Every single Londoner benefits from the cleaner air that ULEZ brings. The current zone has already improved the air for four million Londoners in inner and central London. The expansion to outer London will bring cleaner air to a further five million Londoners.
