London Low Emission Zone

From January 2012, all vehicles entering the London Low Emission Zone will be required to comply with Transport for London's 'Phase 4' legislation, which demands all trucks over 3.5-tonnes and buses/coaches over 5-tonnes comply with the Euro 4 Particulate Matter (PM) standard.

This means that any Euro 3 or earlier vehicle will no longer be able to enter the capital freely. And with a daily charge set at £200 per day and a penalty charge at £1000, operators will be left with no choice but to address the issue.

To help, TruckEast has a solution which will enable companies providing transport into London to prepare for the new legislation.

  • Upgrade your vehicle with a particulate filter to reduce PM emissions to Euro 4 levels. This is a low-cost method of ensuring compliance with Phase 4 legislation.

  • Technicians at all TruckEast Dealer Points have been trained in the specialist installation and testing of the latest Particulate Traps for all makes of vehicle. We can install, test and provide the VOSA paperwork you need to ensure you are compliant.

  • The solution has been developed in conjunction with DINEX – Europe’s leading supplier of complete exhaust systems and emission technologies for commercial vehicles.

Alternatively, we have a range of new and used LEZ compliant vehicles for sale. With a dedicated range of finance options available via Scania Finance, there's never been a better time to purchase a new vehicle. And compared to a penalty of £200/day, the weekly contract hire cost of a brand new Scania becomes an extremely attractive choice indeed. What’s more, we part-exchange all makes and our nationwide search facility will track down the model that's right for you and have it delivered direct to your door.

And finally…a word of advice: Don't leave your preparations for LEZ Phase 4 until the last minute. Demand for new, used and upgraded vehicles is sure to be high around the time the new legislation comes into effect – so it is essential to begin your planning early.
