Available Financial Support
If your vehicle is non-compliant and you use it regularly in Sheffield’s Clean Air Zone, financial support will be available to help convert or replace your vehicle. You must operate a vehicle that is roadworthy and has a valid MOT certificate.
The financial assistance is based on a “first-come, come served” basis, so we recommend you apply as early as possible.
Additionally:
- if you operate a fleet of vehicles there will be a limit on the number of financial support packages you can apply for
- you can only apply for one financial support package per vehicle
- subsidy control regulations will need to be complied with, along with the legal terms from the government for the use of the funding
If you own a non-compliant vehicle registered with Sheffield City Council or Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council you could be eligible to apply.
About the Clean Air Zone
To improve air quality, some local authorities are introducing clean air zones. If your vehicle exceeds emission standards, you may have to pay a charge if you drive in a clean air zone
Class C Clean Air Zone
Sheffield City Council has introduced a Class C Clean Air Zone around the city. Vehicles that do not meet the below minimum standards will be required to pay to enter the clean air zones.
- Hackney carriages and private hire vehicles which are Euro 6 Diesel or Euro 4 Petrol
- light goods vehicles (LGVS) such as vans, campervans and pickup trucks, and minibuses which are Euro 6 Diesel or Euro 4 Petrol
- buses and coaches which are Euro 6 Diesel
- heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) which are Euro 6 Diesel
Vehicles that do not meet these standards will be charged:
- £10 per day for LGVs and taxis
- £50 per day for coaches, buses, and HGVs
Is Your Vehicle Compliant?
The easiest way to find out what Euro Standard your vehicle is to check the registration.
- Euro 6 diesel cars licensed as private hire vehicles, taxis, and vans (<1,305 kg): September 2015
- Euro 6 diesel vans (1,305 – 3,500 kg): September 2016
- Euro 4 petrol cars, taxis, and vans (<1,305 kg): January 2006
- Euro 4 petrol vans (1,305 – 3,500 kg): January 2007
- Euro VI diesel HGVs, buses, and coaches: January 2014 – however many coach manufacturers had exemptions so would have started Euro VI later
If your vehicle was first registered after the relevant date it is likely you will not receive a charge for driving in the Clean Air Zone, but we recommend that you check with the council to make sure.
