London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone could expand further in 2023

16 November 2022

Transport for London is consulting on proposals to further expand London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which could come into force next year on 29 August 2023. The new zone would cover the same area as the current Low Emission Zone, which charges the most heavily polluting vehicles. 

Under the proposals, a daily charge of £12.50 would apply to drivers of non-compliant vehicles which enter the zone. This would include residents but would not apply to vehicles which remain parked and are not driven within the zone on that day. 

You can see a map of the proposed new zone here.

Recent analysis by the RAC found that the last expansion to the ULEZ in October 2020 resulted in a year-on-year increase in revenue of £93.6million over an eight-month period. 

Charges and fines paid by drivers of non-compliant vehicles which entered the zone between November 2021 and the end of June 2022 totalled £112.5 million (representing an average of 1.9million journeys per month). This compares with an earlier figure of £19million generated between February and September 2021. 

Typically, most non-compliant vehicles are petrol cars made before 2005 and diesel cars made before 2015. You can check if your vehicle is compliant before entering the zone here.
