|  | Following
representations from the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC),
Transport for London (TfL) have confirmed that it is not their intention to introduce
the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) for inner London on a universal basis and that,
as with its predecessor the Low Emission Zone, there would be exemptions. Furthermore
TfL confirmed it would be consulting on the details of such exemptions and has
added FBHVC to its stakeholder list confirming that it recognises the claim
of historic vehicle owners for exemption from ULEZ.
In February 2013
the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has announced his intention to create the
world’s first Ultra Low Emission Zone in central London, in a move that
he believes will deliver dramatic benefits in air quality and provide a major
spur for the further development and mass take-up of zero and low emission vehicles.
He has asked | | Transport
for London to prepare plans to look at introducing a scheme that would aim to
ensure all vehicles driving in the centre of the capital during working hours
would be zero or low emission, and the feasibility of introducing such a scheme
from 2020. More | | V8
