Could you please provide the following information which is absent from the ULEZ website. Will euro 6 cars be exempt from ulez after 2030? Will euro 6 cars be ulez exempt when euro 7 is launched in 2025? Thank you for your help, hopfully you can help me with this enquiry.

We answered

TfL Ref: 2357-2223

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 18 December 2022 asking for information about whether cars which meet Euro 6 standards will be exempt from the ULEZ in 2025 and 2030.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy. 

We do not hold the information you have requested as we have not undertaken work on changes to ULEZ emissions standards either in relation to Euro 7 or post 2030.

TfL recently sought the public’s views on how to shape the future of road user charging. You may want to refer to the Mayoral Decision and consultation report which is appended to it which sets out the findings of the consultation. They can be found using the following link, specifically section 1.6 under Introduction and Background, and appendix 2. Please note that any proposed changes to an existing road user charging scheme or the introduction of a new scheme would be subject to consultation: https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/governance-and-spending/promoting-good-governance/decision-making/mayoral-decisions/md3060-london-wide-ultra-low-emission-zone-ulez-scheme?ac-159050=159033. Section 1.6 is below for ease:


1.6.    The consultation also asked for people’s views to help shape the future of road user charging (“Future RUC”), which could include replacing existing charges with a road user charging scheme that uses more sophisticated technology to make it as simple and fair as possible for customers. While experts have found that London will need a new kind of road user charging system by the end of the decade to achieve net zero carbon by 2030, the technology to implement such a scheme in a complex city like London is some years away. TfL did not consult on any specific future road user charging scheme at this stage. Any proposals which could be developed in the future would be subject to a further public and stakeholder consultation with information provided on detailed scheme proposals and their likely impacts. 

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
