Clean Air Zones (CAZ) are expanding across UK cities, charging non-compliant vehicles daily fees to reduce emissions. Fleet managers must understand these regulations and plan accordingly to avoid penalties and operational disruption.
Understanding Clean Air Zone Requirements
- Check Vehicle Compliance: Use the gov.uk checker to see if your vehicles meet CAZ emission standards.
- Map Your Routes: Identify which clean air zones your fleet operates within regularly.
- Calculate Daily Charges: Factor CAZ fees into route planning and pricing structures.
- Plan Vehicle Upgrades: Consider transitioning to Euro 6 diesel or electric vehicles to avoid charges.
Zolt helps fleets audit their CAZ exposure and develop transition plans to newer, compliant vehicles through flexible leasing.
The Cost of Non-Compliance
Daily CAZ charges range from £8-£50 per vehicle depending on the city and vehicle type. For fleets making multiple deliveries, these costs accumulate quickly and erode margins.
“Transitioning to Euro 6 vans eliminated £15,000 in annual CAZ charges across London and Birmingham.”
— Peter Hughes, Transport Manager
