LONDON FOR TRANSPORT SCRAPPAGE SCHEME
If your vehicle doesn’t meet the new, stricter ULEZ emissions standards you will need to pay a daily charge to drive within the zone. Under a new scrappage scheme from TfL, eligible micro businesses can apply for funds to scrap up to three older, more polluting vans and switch to cleaner vehicles.
Find out if your vehicle meets the ULEZ standards for vans and minibuses.
