Following Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s recent announcement to expand London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), car sharing service Zipcar UK is offering advice to consumers and businesses as to how UK cities can keep congestion levels low without compromising on urban mobility. Zipcar UK, launched in 2006, aims to have a 100% electric fleet by 2025.
James Taylor, general manager of Zipcar UK, said:“The Mayor’s office and TfL are absolutely doing the right thing by treating London’s growing air pollution and congestion issues with the gravitas that they need. Expanding the city’s Ultra Low Emission Zones will be crucial in helping to combat the risks for people and our planet associated with high air pollution levels and will also serve to make London’s streets friendlier for pedestrians and cyclists.
“Reducing car ownership is where our collective focus should lie. It means less driving, less parking, and more space for people and the things they love."
