MK5 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Find out if your vehicle is compliant https://lezlondon.tfl.gov.uk/lez/vehicles/default.aspx
DEP Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 This is what i got back on mine Not subject to LEZ - Based on the information you have entered and information held by Transport for London (TfL), the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) does not apply to this vehicle. As long as the vehicle remains not subject to the LEZ the daily charge does not have to be paid for this vehicle when it is used in the Zone. Not a diesel vehicle
MK5 Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Posted November 15, 2007 i know that it doesn't apply to cars but i thought there might be a few on here that run trucks that might be affected. i've just had to check our work fleet and we are royally screwed
Cookie Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 i know that it doesn't apply to cars but i thought there might be a few on here that run trucks that might be affected. i've just had to check our work fleet and we are royally screwed I do feel for all the folk who rely on their wagons for a living, If all this was'nt happening for real then no-one would belive it I just can't believe that anyone in their right mind could even think of charging the sort of prices they want to drive into london on top of the congestion charge, the crazy amount of tax on your fuel to get there, the insurance premium tax they slied in, and the old skool road tax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 different taxes to drive into London!!!! I'm sure there will be a lot of people like myself who will just say no thanks and not do any business there, especially come 2010, which sounds a long time away but is only 2 years now, and the 3.5 tonners can't come in, think how many trades that affects at transit van size level Makes you wonder if the major commercial vehicle seller or the people who do the £2k conversions have made a substancial 'DONATION ' to the government don't it

We seriously need to stand up for ourselves and bring down this hypocritical (sp), lying, lazy arsed government... oh don't forget old Ferret face either. Someone should assasinate that prick!
JAY PS Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 After myself and others on the t4 forum chased tfl ,it would appear my 03 T4 Transporter is euro 3 compliant and theve just amended the website ,but all vans over 2002 will most likely not be because this wasnt built in to the vans at the time My local Recovery company have just replaced most of their fleet with 1-2 year old vehicles and ive noticed around our area there is a lot of newish trucks out there. What about buses ? im sure it applies to them to and as for coaches ,my local company runs vehicles as old as 20 years plus to do school pickups ,im sure these guys will have to invest huge sums of money or call it a day ! BT have just sold off 40% of their older fleet for this reason as come two years time they will be worthless .

BT have just sold off 40% of their older fleet for this reason as come two years time they will be worthless . buses come in next year. oh how f###ing surpriseing that the goverment who sponser the buses is giving them an extra 6months but this goes back to them wanting cars and all comercals to be renewd every 2/3 yrs tho u can take a 65 transit and put a 2007/8 engine in it get it down vosa i think who will check it then give u free drive into london
jimbo Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 One of his main policies is that charges should be leveled at chelsea tractors and businessmen unneccesarily travlling in cars. Not vans going about their business. I live out in the sticks so won't gat a chance to vote. But if he was to firm this up as a definite policy in the run up to the election, I'd be voting for him.
