I've been looking around some sites for this year to put the van on close to some cities. You know, pop in for a day, see the sights blah blah blah. So i checked the gov site and seen quite a few cities part of the CAZ. Kinda rules me out as I have an early T6 with euro 5 so get charged a fair few quid, but when I put on my old 56 plate diesel smoker, I can get for in for free. Madness.

I feel sorry for the residents who can't afford an upgrade. I know I couldn't. And companies will just pass on the cost to the consumer which will be expensive and then we'll all want an other pay rise. When does it stop?? I've noticed most of these cities are labour run, so much for the working class eh?. I'm waiting for Liverpool to bring it in next, only a matter of time.
I doubt many HGV's have to pay though, they'd have to be pretty old to incur any charges.
A mate of mine had to go into Bristol with his 1999 Scania T-cab. He put a blob of fifth wheel grease on his number plate, but now has the dilemma of not knowing if he got snapped or not. You can't go onto the site and ask if you need to pay after the event.
Not everyone can afford to run brand new vehicles.
Our newest one is 2013.
I've just put in the reg of a Scania S720 (Euro 6) and there's no charge.
Well ours arent euro 6.. so doesnt help us very much. Mine is euro 5.. or other isn't euro anything recent as it's a 2004.
109LWB, I've been trying to quote your post saying that all HGV's have to pay but the forum won't let me, it will only let me quote you saying that "Not everyone can afford to run new vehicles"
We often have to drive through the centre of Bristol to get from Stonehouse to Wyke Champflower so I've inputted a few of our Mercedes reg's into the checker and they all came back as no charge. We've got a couple of old shagged out 67 reg MAN's on our fleet too and they also come back as no charge.

I thought Bath had already introduced the Euro6 charging
They haven't yet, so I changed my post.

Introduction and policy background | Bath and North East Somerset Council
Understand the context of our proposals and the existing policies that support them. In 2017, we were directed by the government to reduce the levels of nitrogen dioxide in the city. Our research showed that a charging mechanism was the only way to achieve the target within the time frame and...
We run specialist vehicles, even if we could afford to, we can't just go buy a new one from a dealer. They need to built by a specialist and would probably cost £200k+
67 plate sounds luxourius to me.
We run a 1998, 2004 and 2013.
Both 1993 bikes, a 1979 Porsche, 2012 Ford and 2015 Nissan are all CAZ exempt. Only one in my fleet not exempt is my newest vehicle of them all……. the T6!!! Euro 5 is ok for cars but not for vans apparently?
