This means that newly registered petrol, diesel and biodiesel, LPG lorries and vans will no longer be allowed to access these zones. There is a phased introduction, and in 2028 all vans need to be zero emission, 2030 all lorries.

However, zero-emissions vehicles (such as electric or hydrogen-powered vehicles or cargobikes) will be free to access this designated zone. There are phase-in arrangements, so see how your vehicle is affected.
