TFL have expanded the eligibility of the scrappage scheme and increased their grant payments to help even more London residents, and London-based charities and small businesses benefit from the available funds and prepare for the ULEZ expansion.
Any London resident living in one of the 32 London boroughs or the City of London with an eligible vehicle can apply to scrap a car or motorcycle, as you no longer need to receive certain benefits to apply.
Grant payments for eligible small businesses (under 50 employees), micro businesses (up to 10 employees), charities and sole traders have been increased and the TfL are also providing greater support for disabled Londoners by increasing the grant payment to scrap or retrofit a wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV).
Charities operating in London can apply to scrap or retrofit up to 3 vans or minibuses, and may reapply even if they already received a grant payment for one vehicle as part of this scrappage scheme or received a grant through the previous scrappage scheme. Eligible businesses and sole traders will also be able to apply for up to 3 vans or minibuses in total, even if they had received a grant payment for one vehicle as part of this scheme.
London-based small businesses, micro businesses, sole traders and charities with new vans or minibuses ordered, or non-compliant vans or minibuses being retrofitted that will not be ready until after the ULEZ expansion, may also be eligible for our new short-term grace period.
More details about the scrappage scheme changes and the full eligibility criteria for the new grace period is be available at https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone/scrappage-schemes.
