Are There Any Discounts Available for Low-emission Vehicles?

Yes, Newham provides discounts and incentives for low-emission vehicles. Here are the key points:

• Free First Permit: Households with electric vehicles or most plug-in hybrid vehicles (CO2 emissions less than 50g/km) are eligible for a free first residential parking permit.
• Emission-Based Charges: Lower permit charges are applied based on the vehicle's CO2 emissions, encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles.

Here’s a summary of the applicable charges based on CO2 emission tiers:

Additionally, there is mention of a scrappage scheme to assist low-income residents in transitioning to greener vehicles, which could be beneficial if you're considering making a switch.
