Logistics operations face London commercial vehicle curbs from March 2021

Commercial vehicles entering London will need to run at a minimum of Euro-6 from 1 March 2021, as logistics operations have to comply with tighter Low Emission Zone standards.

The shift from Euro-4 engine standards for commercial vehicles, including trucks and vans, was set to come in at the end of October, but was moved back to March in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

The move means that logistics operations in the capital now have to run commercial vehicles registered on or after 1 January 2014.

 

The Mayor’s office in the capital will offer grants of £15,000 to scrap a heavy vehicle and replace it with a compliant vehicle, or to retrofit diesel vehicles up to Euro-6 standards. It said that more than 100 organisations had already pre-registered interest in the scheme, which operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Read more
