To provide a summary of the main changes brought in by ULEZ, I will refer to the information from the BBC News article and the research briefing from the UK Parliament's Commons Library.According to the BBC News article, the ULEZ policy was introduced in London in April 2019 and expanded in October 2021. The main change brought by ULEZ is the requirement for vehicles entering the zone to meet strict emission standards. Petrol vehicles must meet Euro 4 standards, while diesel vehicles must meet Euro 6 standards. Non-compliant vehicles are subject to a daily charge. The ULEZ policy aims to improve air quality and reduce harmful emissions, particularly nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter.One potential benefit expected to arise from the introduction of ULEZ is the improvement in air quality.
