Vehicles that do not comply with London's Ultra Low Emissions Zone standards can be donated and sent to Ukraine
More than 100 vehicles have been donated to Ukraine under London's Ultra Low Emissions Zone (Ulez) scrappage scheme, City Hall has said.
Under the scheme, vehicles that do not meet emission standards can be sent to the war-torn country instead of being scrapped. A convoy of 20 vehicles were delivered to Ukraine over the weekend, a City Hall spokesperson said.
British-Ukrainian Aid (BUAID), the charity delivering the vehicles, said they were "saving lives" and each one was "valued and valuable". City Hall said 110 had been donated since the Ukraine initiative started on 15 March. It said a further 13 vehicles were expected to arrive by the end of the week, taking the total number of vehicles delivered to 55.
BUAID said the vehicles were being used in areas including evacuation and medical emergencies. “We remain enormously grateful for the support given to us by the mayors of London and Kyiv, and by our many partners, supporters and donors," a spokesperson for the charity said.
