I was reading about the upcoming Manchester CAZ the other day which doesn't come into effect until May 2022 as to give local hauliers/taxi/coach firms & van fleets time to upgrade their fleets to cleaner compliant vehicles.


Private cars are not being banned in the Manchester CAZ.


Van operators can now access up to £4,500 towards the replacement of a vehicle – £1,000 more than initially proposed – and Greater Manchester Hackney Cabs can get up to £10,000. HGVs can now get up to £12,000 towards replacement, nearly three times more than was initially offered, and coaches are now eligible for £32,000.


What I did find interesting was they've already made an extension to the CAZ before it even begins to incorporate the Trans-Pennine routes A426 Snake pass & A57 Woodhead Pass which will carry the same restrictions as the city centre for older non compliant vehicles which will have to go the long way round using the M62 https://airqualitynews.com/2021/07/0...nnine-traffic/
