London has initiated a significant update to its Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) regulations, now allowing owners of non-compliant petrol and diesel vehicles to donate their cars to Ukraine. This move, reported by the Financial Times and captured in an AFP photo, and announced by Mayor Sadiq Khan, aims to support Ukraine's humanitarian and medical needs. The scheme, effective from today, comes after an EU vote and is part of a broader effort to update the petrol and diesel car scrappage scheme in the capital. Supermarkets like Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Morrisons have informed drivers to expect new petrol and diesel rules following this development.
