The London Mayor scrappage scheme for ULEZ removed 35,094 cars and 17,964 vans from London’s roads or upgraded to a ULEZ-compliant vehicle.
The scheme, which came under heavy fire in many London Boroughs, was hailed by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, as a success in helping to reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality by removing older, more polluting vehicles from London’s roads.
The Mayor and TfL launched the London-wide ULEZ scrappage scheme in January 2023 to support the expansion of the ULEZ to outer London.
It followed the mayor’s previous £61m scrappage scheme to support the introduction of the ULEZ to central London and expansion to inner London (October 2021), which led to more than 15,000 successful applications.
The boroughs of Croydon and Hillingdon saw the highest number of successful applications, demonstrating strong local engagement in the scheme.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I am proud that the scrappage scheme – the biggest in the UK – has supported so many Londoners to switch to cleaner, greener forms of transport.
“This has made a huge difference to our air quality and also encouraged many Londoners to take up more sustainable ways of travelling, which will make a lasting difference to our capital.
