ULEZ

ULEZ stands for Ultra Low Emission Zone, a measure implemented in certain cities to improve air quality by discouraging the use of vehicles that emit high levels of exhaust emissions. In these zones, vehicles need to meet specific emissions standards to avoid charges when driving within the designated area.

The charges for driving in the ULEZ zone depend on the type of vehicle and its emissions. If a vehicle doesn't meet the required emissions standards, a daily charge applies to drive within the ULEZ area. The fee is typically payable for each day the vehicle enters the zone and operates within the specified times.

The regulations, charges, and eligible vehicles vary by city. For instance, in London, the ULEZ daily charge applies 24/7 for most vehicles that do not meet emission standards, with exemptions and discounts available for certain types of vehicles, such as electric or compliant low-emission vehicles.

It's crucial to check the specific requirements and charges for the ULEZ in the city where you intend to drive to understand how it might affect your vehicle and potential costs.
