Clean air zones (CAZs) charge non-compliant vehicles each time they pass through a designated area. Buses, coaches and HGVs must meet Euro Ⅵ emission standards. Vans must meet Euro 6 regulations. The following cities currently have CAZs in operation: Bath, Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Portsmouth, Sheffield and Tyneside (Newcastle and Gateshead). CAZs are also planned for Greater Manchester. In addition, the London ULEZ (ultra-low emission zone) is expanding in August 2023 to much of Greater London, and has similar requirements. Local authorities are offering funding through grants and financial support schemes to replace or retrofit non-compliant vehicles. To apply for funding, operators will need to satisfy eligibility criteria. HGV or PSV funding applications are still open for Birmingham, Bristol, London, Tyneside, Sheffield, and Greater Manchester.
