Greater London Authority, GB expedites low-emission compliance with heavy vehicle scrappage funds
Greater London Authority, GB Heavy Vehicle Scrappage Funds
The authority offered up to £15,000 for successful applicants to replace or retrofit large vans and buses. Each applicant acquired or outfitted a vehicle that meets Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) requirements by March 2021. Small businesses with 50 or fewer employees and nonprofits were eligible for the program. Greater London Authority modelled the scrappage scheme after an 18-month van replacement scheme that brought 5,000 vehicles into ULEZ compliance.
