Remember its not just lorries. A couple of years away I know, but in 2010 every vehicle 2t - 3.5t will have to be Euro 111 or newer to avoid the charge. Thats newer than Oct 2001 and even newer than that on certain vehicles. How many Transit / LDV' s currently travel inside the M25 daily. Thousands is my guess. My advice if you are working in that area. Buy vehicles early. If you checked out 7.5T lorry prices lately you will find many dealers listing whats compliant and not. The ones that are seem to be carrying a hefty premium.

The annoying thing about this is that a vehicle produces more Co2 being built than it will produces in all its working life.So the most environmentally frendly thing we can do is run our old motors for as long as we can.

I'm just wondering how many ordinary, everyday tradesmen, market stall holder, etc are going to be bankrupted with all this legislation.

We are on the verge of financial disaster this countrys debt is incredible 65% 40ish million people are in debt rough figure.

 

Our industry will be torn apart by such a thing only the big contract companys will remain but like all things the small business will come back the big companys get greedy when there is no competition which allows new companys to start up cheaper.

which ever political party rubber stamps it will surley be signing thier own death warrant.
