The London Ultra Low Emission Zone is set to expand to cover the entirety of the Greater London area in less than a week. Mayor Sadiq Khan has faced widespread opposition to the move.
More than £400m has been made in fees and penalties from vehicle emission schemes since March 2021, according to research.Figures obtained by carmaker Peugeot through freedom of information requests found that a total of £418m has been generated in England since the spring of 2021 via the country's nine charging low emission and clean air zones.
The vast majority - £320m - was made between October 2021 and April 2023 when the current ULEZ zone was brought in for the area inside the North and South Circular roads in London. From Tuesday next week, the scheme will cover the whole of Greater London, with the most polluting vehicles of any type being charged to enter the zone.
London has had a low emission zone affecting just commercial vehicles - which also covers Greater London - since 2008. Elsewhere, Birmingham's clean air zone made more than £79m between June 2021 and April 2023, while Bath's scheme made nearly £10 between March 2021 and May 2023.
