TfL brings case worth up to £1bn against carmakers over Ulez compliance

Transport for London claims polluting diesel vehicles had been able to enter clean air zone without having to pay

Transport for London is pursuing a potential £1bn legal action against car manufacturers over vehicles that it argues should not have been allowed to drive freely in the capital’s clean-air zone.

The high court heard that TfL was making allegations of “fraud and negligence” against manufacturers including Stellantis, Jaguar Land Rover, BMW and Nissan over their vehicles’ levels of diesel emissions.
