Birmingham is a popular city, and in 2024, around 3,657 million vehicle miles were travelled on all motor vehicles in Birmingham.
Yet recently, there have been concerns towards emissions produced by highly polluting cars driving on Birmingham’s roads.
As a result, a Birmingham clean air zone has been introduced to issue daily charges to vehicles that don’t meet this area’s standards for emission levels.
This has encouraged more and more people to scrap their high-emission petrol and diesel motors.
