Overview

• Sadiq Khan has announced that non-Ulez compliant vehicles, including 50 decommissioned ambulances, will be sent to Ukraine to support humanitarian and medical efforts.
• The decision comes after Transport Secretary Mark Harper clarified that there was no legal barrier to donating the vehicles through the Ulez scrappage scheme.
• Transport for London (TfL) will amend the scrappage scheme, allowing Londoners to donate their non-compliant vehicles in exchange for the same grant payment available for scrapping or retrofitting.
• British-Ukrainian Aid (BUA) will facilitate the donation process, transferring the vehicles to Ukraine and reporting on the number of donated vehicles.
• The initiative aims to support Ukraine's medical and humanitarian needs while also helping to remove old polluting vehicles from London's roads.
