In this blog we aim to answer the main questions regarding the London ULEZ to help you make an informed decision when purchasing your Micro Camper we aim to break it down into simple to digest pieces, So here we go

What is ULEZ? 

The London Ultra Low Emission Zone also referred to as ULEZ is an area in London that Charges for certain vehicles to enter it operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, except Christmas Day

Why is ULEZ Being implemented?

The ULEZ is being expanded to improve the air quality in London

Where is ULEZ being implemented?

The area affected by the expansion of  ULEZ is going to include everywhere within the North Circular Road (A406) and South Circular Road (A205)but excluding the North and South Circular roads themselves, So you will be able to use these routes without being charged

When is ULEZ being implemented?

Currently, only Central London is in the Ultra-Low emission Zone, but this is due to expand on the 25th October 2021 it operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, except Christmas Day

What Micro Campers are affected by ULEZ?

Petrol: Euro 4 This should not affect Petrol Micro Camper but you can check here Check My Micro Camper

Summary

• Never going to drive in London’s Expanded ULEZ

If like most of us with Micro Campers, you have no intention to driving in the London then the ULEZ will not be a problem Just choose the Micro Camper that suits your needs

• May Visit London’s Expanded ULEZ but only occasionally

If you will go into the ULEZ but for less than 12 days in total for the year, I would not let it influence your decision as Petrol Micro Campers are normally more expensive to Tax and not as fuel-efficient so you would still be better off financially with a Diesel Micro Camper

• Live in London or Frequently visit the London ULEZ

You will need a newer Euro 6 Diesel or Petrol Micro Camper this choice will be down to Budget and the number of miles you drive each year.
