The key changes include:
A 100 per cent low CO2 discount for cars that:
Produce less than 120g/km CO2 and meet the Euro 4 standard for air pollution emissions or
Produce no more than 120g/km of CO2, and appear on the PowerShift register
The introduction of a higher charge (£25) for cars and certain pickups with two rows of seats that produce high levels of CO2.Vehicles liable for this charge are:
Cars first registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) on or after 1 March 2001 that produce above 225g/km of CO2
Cars first registered with the DVLA before 1 March 2001 with engines greater than 3,000cc
Pickups with two rows of seats (extended-cab dual-purpose pickups) with CO2 emissions of greater than 225g/km or with engines greater than 3,000cc in size
The removal of the 90 per cent Residents' Discount from the Congestion Charge for residents who continue to drive cars liable for the CO2 charge
The closure of the 100 per cent Alternative Fuel Discount (AFD) to new registrations, and the phasing out of the AFD by January 2010
A change to the NHS reimbursement scheme. We will only reimburse patients travelling in those cars that are liable for the higher charge a maximum of £8, not the full £25
The introduction of the Euro V incentive - a time-limited reduced Congestion Charge of £6 for lorries and heavier vans that meet the Euro V standard for air pollution emissions.
We have made further changes to the way congestion charging operates. Please see the Congestion Charging - new charging structure for further information. The table is also available in PDF format (PDF 61KB)
Find out your vehicle's CO2 emission level or engine capacity
There are a number of ways to find out the CO2 emissions level or engine capacity of your car. For cars registered with the DVLA on or after 1 March 2001, check the vehicle's V5C registration document for its CO2 emissions level.
If your car was registered with the DVLA before 1 March 2001, the registration document will show its engine size (CO2 emission level information is not available for cars first registered with the DVLA before 1 March 2001).
How to find out more
Full details of the changes can be found in the Report to the Mayor on the Greater London (Central Zone) Congestion Charging (Variation and Transitional Provisions) Order 2007 in the publications archive.
