This report lays out the standard types of clean air zones in the UK including ULEZ, CAZ or LEZ. There are rules around where they can be implemented and 4 basic types

• Class A – Bus; coach; taxi and private hire
• Class B – Bus; coach; Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV); taxi and private hire
• Class C – Bus; coach; HGV; large van; minibus; small van/light commercial; taxi and private hire
• Class D – Bus; coach; HGV; large van; minibus; small van/light commercial; cars, taxis and private hire

Class D includes the new London ULEZ and forthcoming Birmingham clean air zone. Bath looked at class D but in the end went for class C. In Scotland Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee look set to adopt class D, while Glasgow went for a class A zone limited to some buses only until 2022 when it should become a class D.

Whichever class is chosen, Euro 4 petrol (approx. 2006) vehicles or a Euro 6 diesel (approx. 2015) vehicles would not be charged, nor would electric or hydrogen powered vehicles.
