Particulate matter pollution in London has fallen by 22 percent since the introduction of the controversial low emission zone. The measures to improve air quality have led to a significant reduction in pollutant emissions. People are breathing cleaner air and there are fewer polluting vehicles on the roads.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has announced a pilot project to install air filters in 200 of the city's most polluted schools. At first glance, this sounds like a commendable initiative. But why did it have to come this far?
The Dutch organisation Transport in Noord wants to sue London for unlawful fines. These were recently sent in bulk to traffic offenders in recent years. A florist was retroactively fined 400,000 euros. If the lawsuit is upheld, fines totalling one billion euros could become invalid. Despite legal hurdles and high costs, the London case shows us the way to a cleaner, more sustainable future. Electromobility as a solution - now is the time for change!
Get your registration now! London and Glasgow, but also Bath, Birmingham, Sheffield and many other cities: Low emission zones are currently being greatly expanded in the UK. Restrictions have been in place for some time. Since this year, however, more and more vehicle categories and also more foreign vehicles have been affected, be they tourists, coaches or lorries. It is therefore worth familiarising yourself with the rules before entering the zone and, if necessary, obtaining a registration. We can help you with this!
New in the Green Zones Shop! As of today, you can order your registration to enter many of the UK's Green Zones from our shop! Older vehicles of various vehicle categories are affected. Partly also passenger cars and motorhomes! Registrations for past entries into the low emission zones are also possible. Unfortunately, you will have to wait a little longer for registrations for London, but these will also be available soon!
The Low Emission Zone in London - extended to over 1500 square kilometres a few days ago - could suffer a serious setback. After a citizen challenged the signs in court as unlawful and was proven right, more affected people could now escape the penalties of the ULEZ.
Almost 300 cameras monitoring the low emission zone in London have already been damaged or stolen. The police are searching for the perpetrators and have now published the picture of a suspected perpetrator. His face is the symbol of an indignant city.
Only 2 months after the introduction of the Low Emission Zone in Glasgow, the city council has earned almost £600,000 through fines. After heavy criticism because of problems with the city-owned vehicles, there is now renewed anger among the population. Is the city making money?
The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in London, which has been in operation since April 2019, is to be significantly expanded. Originally, the ULEZ was established on an area of 21 square kilometres. On 25 October 2021, it was expanded 18 times and on 29 August 2023, it will be expanded to a whopping 1579 square kilometres. This will cover all London boroughs in Greater London, making it one of the largest environmental zones in the world.
From the end of August, the Ultra Low Emission Zone area in the British capital is to be extended. However, the mayor's office plans are facing resistance as neighbouring boroughs question the measure - and are now taking it to court.
