BREXIT

[VNA]

The issue I have with these ULEZ zones is that they cost the least well off the most. Most of the people who service, clean and generally keep our major towns and cities running can't afford to live in them and have to travel in, often at unsociable hours when public transport isn't running.

They simply can't afford to change at the drop of a hat to EURO 6 compliant vehicles. It's not a worry for the better off.

I totally agree with you. :eek :eek :eek  I can swan in and out for free cos I can afford a EURO6 diesel.  But people who can’t afford to buy a new motor cos the city centre regulations have changed are stuck with the charges.  Yeah, it’s crap.


But my point is, if diesel sales are being hit hard at the moment it is because people have been miss-informed. 



But the bigger picture, in the long run, is that fossil fuelled cars will be phased out.  I think most manufactures will be focusing on petrol for EURO7.  I suspect a few years down the road your two options will be plug in hybrid petrol or 100% electric.  And ultimately in the long run all petrol and diesel cars will be banned from city centres.


In the meantime, I’ll probably replace ma wee YETI 4x4 diesel with another diesel when the times comes.  Quite fancy a 3.0 BMW diesel (EURO 6 of course) – they are foccing quick.
