This week London will vote for the \u00a325 congestion charge that will be applied to \u201cgas-guzzling\u201d cars. The purpose of the new tax is to help cutting the city\u2019s carbon emissions by 60 percent by 2025.<\/p>\n

Every owner of a vehicle emitting more than 225g CO2 per 100 km will have to pay the tax if he wants to drive in London. The original plan excluded London residents within the taxed zone, but the exemption has been removed for drivers of luxury and SUV cars. <\/p>\n

If the is passed, London will become part of the city\u2019s larger green initiative, which includes promoting the use of bicycles in the city, fitting new filters to city equipment and buildings and the low-emission zone targeting heavy trucks, which went into effect on Monday in the zone encircled by the M25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
