Subject: UK's first emissions zone begins in London
Written By: Philip Eno on 02/04/08 at 1:10 am
The most heavily polluting lorries are facing charges of £200 per day to enter Greater London as Britain's first low emission zone (LEZ) comes into force.
The £49m scheme uses cameras to check all lorries over 12-tonnes entering the zone against a database of vehicles certified as meeting EU exhaust limits. Firms whose vehicles are not on the database will be told to pay up.
The rules, aimed at improving London's air quality, will be extended to cover buses and coaches in July.
By 2010, it will also cover some vans and smaller lorries. Cars and motorcycles are exempt.
