It’s important your fleet is ready for more cities introducing Ultra Low Emissions Zones (ULEZ) and Clean Air Zones (CAZ). In the future, an electric van may be the only way to carry goods in Ultra Low Emissions Zones. Failing to drive an electric van in these areas could result in a financial penalty.
London was the first city to introduce the UK’s first ULEZ. The ULEZ is a defined area in which all vehicles have to meet strict emission requirements or face a daily fee to travel. The aim is to combat air pollution by discouraging drivers from driving through the most polluted areas in unsuitable (or in other words, non-electric or high emission) vehicles. The UK government also has plans to allow local authorities to introduce clean air zones.
The UK Government has a mission to ensure all new cars in the UK will be “effectively zero emission” by 2040. This long-term strategy has two main aims: to improve air quality across the UK by discouraging the use of polluting vehicles, and to reduce the number of areas in the UK where air pollution breaches legal limits. In a nutshell, Clean Air Zones are being put in place to encourage people to drive electric vehicles and more modern petrol and diesels.
Five cities across the UK will be introducing Clean Air Zones over the next few years: Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Derby and Bath. In addition, 28 local authorities with expected illegal pollution levels by 2021 must also determine whether or not a Clean Air Zone is required.
To ensure your business is prepared for the numerous new CAZs that are due to be introduced, it’s worth looking into switching to an electric van. At Van Sales UK, we offer both new and used vans.

"I’m extremely happy with my new Renault Master. The whole process was smooth and professional, with excellent communication throughout.

"There is not much one can say about dealing with Vanaways, other than what a wonderful experience it has been from the beginning to the delivery of my new van. Dealing with Torin was simple; I just said what type of van I required and the budget I had, and he matched exactly what I required, under budget. After my order was placed, I was passed to Yasmin to keep me informed of when my van was due for delivery. Yasmin was amazing at her job, letting me know the progress of the van and when the extras I had ordered were to be fitted before delivery to me. Totally 5-star service, and I know where I'm buying my next van from. Alistair Patterson"

Rod in Sales and Ash in Delivery were both extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. They made every aspect of arranging the leases straightforward and kept us informed every step of the way. We are delighted with our new vehicles and would have no hesitation in recommending Vanaways to anyone looking for a professional, efficient, and customer-focused vehicle leasing service.
