Responding to the announcement of upcoming changes to the congestion charging scheme in London, Muniya Barua, Deputy Chief Executive of BusinessLDN, said:
“City Hall and Transport for London have made great strides in improving air quality in the capital whilst also supporting the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) across the city.
“The Cleaner Vehicle Discount (CVD) has played an important role in driving uptake but it’s not job done and given the Mayor’s ambitious net zero target, now is not the time to reduce the level of support.
“It’s vital these changes do not cause the transition to EVs to stall and we look forward to working with City Hall and TfL to explore other practical steps that can incentivise more people to make the switch, while ensuring the capital keeps moving.”
