£10 Diesel Car Charge Considered For Central London
It has been reported that a plan to charge drivers of diesel cars £10 to drive into central London are being considered.
According to a report by the Times, London Mayor Boris Johnson will lobby the government for an increase in road tax for diesel cars as part of a new Ultra Low Emission Zone he hopes to be introduced by 2020.
The additional £10 charge would come on top of the £10 congestion charge.
Under the levy, diesel vehicles meeting the Euro 6 emissions standard would be exempt. Petrol cars registered before 2006 would also be eligible for the additional £10 charge.
