The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) has raised concerns about the introduction of the Central London Low Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).<\/p>\n
Set to be introduced in 2019, the BVRLA feel there has not been enough time for companies to be prepared for the changes.<\/p>\n
BVRLA chief executive Gerry Keaney said: “The ULEZ will now come into effect seventeen months earlier than originally planned and many commercial fleet operators will face a big financial challenge in trying to upgrade their vehicles ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n
“Many of these operators will be small and medium sized businesses that rely on buying second-hand vehicles from larger fleets and can’t afford to go and buy a whole new Euro VI fleet at short notice.”<\/p>\n
