Thanks for the update Stu, not looking good It's sad that as soon as they bring something up like this, it's inevitbale that it will happen
Electricity comes from... (say it altogether kids) burning fossil fuels! Sure, we have increased the amount of electricity generated from wood, solar, recylced etc. but only by a small amount. Perhaps they should concentrate on creating cleaner energy before increaseing the demand on electricity. Hydro power off shore, wind generators on roofs of tall buildings (not the traditional fan style but the newer vertical style onces which are more concealed) and making it mandatory for all new buildings to have solar panls and all industrial / office buildings etc. to have solar panels. Otherwise the emissions are still being generated, just elsewhere.

Didn't quite get that, could you elaborate? Are they exempt after 2020 or something?

It's an excellent incentive to force people to buy new compliant things, cars in this case. It will give a good boost to car makers and also to the government for their 20% VAT on all the cars being sold. I'm sure there will be scrappage schemes around 2019 to 'prepare' people for the new emission zone. The government can they make £ from selling the scrap to China. China will be then manufacturing these new cars, parts etc. so China will be benefiting the most out of this. They of course have terrible emissions and have some under the table deals to make sure theyy keep producing on the cheap, so as part of the deal they don't comply with emmisions targets etc. So, those emissions will still get created... just elsewhere. Our pockets will get lighter, our Governments will get a bit heavier and China's a lot heavier. Yay.

It's gonna work alongside the new (from last April) rolling 40 year road tax exemption that was brought in. So currently all vehicles built before jan 1st 1975 are exempt, so the exemption will be 1980 by 2020, so all but one year of 2nd gens will be exempt.

ahh that makes sense cheers dude!

My 79 will be ok to go then But the Trans Am will be banished between 2020 and 2027.

Will have to look up what's classed as ultra low emissions.

If the government cared about air qualty and emissions they would remove all the speed humps from this country , that would make much more impact than banning certain cars from London and they are banned in many European countries because of the pollution they cause, but that wouldn't keep the peasants from central London would it
