Common Types of Non-Compliant Vehicles

1. Older Diesel Cars: Many older diesel cars fail to meet the Euro 6 emissions standards required by the ULEZ. These vehicles tend to emit higher levels of harmful pollutants.

2. Non-Compliant Petrol Cars: Petrol cars that do not meet Euro 4 emissions standards or higher are also considered non-compliant. These older petrol vehicles contribute to air pollution in the ULEZ area.

3. Motorcycles and Mopeds: Motorcycles and mopeds that do not meet Euro 3 emissions standards or higher are subject to ULEZ charges. These smaller vehicles can still have a significant impact on air quality.

4. Large Vehicles: Buses and lorries that do not meet Euro VI emissions standards are among the largest contributors to air pollution. These heavy-duty vehicles are closely monitored within the ULEZ.

Checking Compliance

Vehicle owners are encouraged to verify their vehicle's compliance with ULEZ regulations. This can be done by checking the vehicle's Euro emissions standard, which is typically mentioned in the vehicle's documentation or by contacting the manufacturer.

By identifying non-compliant vehicles and taking steps to address their emissions, London can make significant strides in improving air quality and overall environmental health.
