A few bits of info

1) this is proposed for 2020 (that's 6 years away)
2) cars older than 2005 will be banned from central london.

I don't see many 15 year old cars on the road to be honest. I can understand the reasons. Even the 6% banded around seems a bit on the high side.

Works vehicles dont tend to last for 15 years.

I would have to Disagree LT, my focus is now 14 years and 4 months and running very strong and (touch wood) it should have at least 4 years left with me.:):j

boris, i do then they do the scrappage scheme if they do want to phase this out.

It might be advised to buy petrol, hybrid or electric cars or await diesel Euro 6 if driving in London

Dunno about you. but the way I interpreted that graph was that we should all be riding motorcycles and banning all the diesel taxies... That'd certainly make me happy!

Remember that's just NO2 not PM 2.5 the other major pollutant.
