The ULEZ applies to vans and minibuses including:
- Small vans (weighing up to and including 1.205 tonnes unladen weight)
- Larger vans, 4X4 light utility vehicles, motorised horseboxes, pickups (over 1.205 tonnes unladen weight up to and including 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight)
- Ambulances and motorcaravans (2.5 tonnes to 3.5 tonnes)
- Minibuses (more than 8 passenger seats, not over 5 tonnes
Find out more information here about how ULEZ changes affect HGVs.
The ULEZ will be enforced based on the declared emissions of the vehicle rather than the age, but:
- All new diesel vans sold from September 2016 should meet the Euro 6 standard
- All petrol vans registered with the DVLA from January 2006 meet the Euro 4 standard
That means, if you operate a non-compliant vehicle within the ULEZ your annual operating cost could increase dramatically as per the table below.

How can I keep up with changing legislation?
Companies across many industry sectors can struggle to predict changes in business demand. Luckily, your fleet capacity doesn’t have to be permanent either.
The time has come for fleets of older vehicles to look at their options for upgrading to a fleet that complies with current and likely future legislation.
