Leeds City Council is inviting businesses to apply for £23 million worth of financial support being made available to owners, leaseholders, and operators of affected vehicles to help them prepare for the Clean Air Charging Zone (CAZ).
Grants and interest-free loans are being made available to assist vehicle owners with the costs of switching to less polluting vehicles that won’t be charged for driving within the zone.
Applications are open now for owners of non-scheduled buses and coaches, based in or operating within Leeds, and operators of heavy goods vehicles to apply for grants of up to £16,000 to upgrade or retrofit their non-compliant vehicles.
Taxi and private hire applications for a smaller grant will open to owners and leaseholders of a single vehicle from 1 April and to owners and operators of multiple vehicles from 1 June.
