The London Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is a critical measure designed to improve air quality by targeting the most polluting vehicles. If you drive a heavy vehicle or frequently travel through Greater London, it’s important to understand how the LEZ works, who it affects, and how to comply.
The LEZ operates across most of Greater London and focuses on reducing emissions from heavy vehicles such as lorries, vans, and buses. Here are the key details:
To avoid charges, vehicles must meet specific emissions standards:
Check your vehicle’s compliance using the TfL vehicle checker.
Failing to pay the LEZ charge can result in a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) of up to £1,000. Acting promptly to settle the charge or ensure compliance is essential.
