Default Do you own a diesel engined vehicle?

Do you own a diesel van-mini bus-truck- or any other type of diesel engined

emmissions zone)and see what Ken Livingstone and TFL are going to introduce
from next year (a daily charge of £100 or £200 to drive anywhere inside the
M25).


Where does it says that? All I can see is:

"The proposals set out above are focused on reducing CO2 emissions
from cars, as it is recognised that there is currently less scope for the
operators of lorries and heavier vehicles to use lower CO2 alternatives.
However, there is scope for operators of these vehicles to use cleaner
vehicles in terms of air quality emissions."
....
"From 6 October 2008, operators of lorries or heavier vans which meet
the Euro V standard would be eligible to apply for a discount to the
Congestion Charge, so that they would pay only £6 instead of the
standard £8 daily charge."
