London,EN,UK -Transport Engineer, by John Challen -9 May 2011: -- Mayor of London Boris Johnson has announced that more major vehicle manufacturers have signed up to offer discounts for drivers of vehicles set to be affected by changes to the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) next year...  Renault and Fiat have pledged to provide the owners of around 72,000 larger vans and minibuses that will need to take action to avoid fines, more affordable ways to buy new, cleaner vehicles. This will enable them to avoid daily charges when changes to the LEZ come into effect in January 2012...  DAF has also come forward and offered to provide the owners of HGVs a discount towards the purchase of new, cleaner vehicles. Around 75,000 owners of HGVs buses and coaches will have to take action to meet tighter LEZ standards...  These companies join existing deals from Ashwoods, Citroën, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot and Volkswagen announced by the Mayor last month...  Owners of larger vans and minibuses who do not meet the required emissions standards by 3 January 2012, and who drive within Greater London, will have to pay a £100 daily charge or risk a £500 penalty...  Owners of HGVs, buses and coaches that do not meet the required emissions standards by 3 January 2012, and who drive within Greater London, will have to pay a £200 daily charge or risk a £1,000 penalty...
