Congestion Charge Exempt Cars 2012
London Congestion Charge legislation
changed from 4th January 2011. Introduction of the Greener Vehicle Discount (GVD meant that any car that emits less that 100 g/km of CO2 and that meets the Euro 5 standard for air quality will be exempt from congestion charge
if registered with TfL, so is FREE to drive in Central London. That equates to a £2850 per annum saving if you drive into London every day for work between the hours of 7am and 6pm,
plus all these cars are in road tax band A so road tax is
totally free as well.

4th January also saw the daily
charge increase from £8 to £10 for those that pay on the day. In
addition there's the introduction of 'Congestion Charging Auto Pay' where a £1 discount is available to those who register for automated Credit / Debit card payment.
Under the old regulations (pre 4th January 2011) only hybrid or electric cars receive exemption from the £8 daily charge, but ongoing all low emission Euro 5 standard petrol or diesel cars that emit less than 100 g/km will be free to drive in London.
