Cars, vans, minibuses, buses, coaches and heavy goods vehicles in central London will need to meet minimum exhaust emission standards, or pay a daily £10 Emissions Surcharge – also known as the Toxicity Charge, or T-Charge.
It will operate at the same times as the Congestion Charge (Monday to Friday 7am-6pm), so it will cost £21.50 to drive in the zone if your vehicle doesn’t meet the standard.
The move is one of the many measures the Mayor is introducing to improve London’s air quality.
