Local facts for Glasgow
- Glasgow's low emission zone was the first in Scotland to be enforced for all vehicle types, from 1 June 2023, with a further year of grace to 1 June 2024 for vehicles registered to addresses inside the zone.
- Scottish zones work differently from English class C schemes: they apply to cars as well as vans and lorries, so a non-compliant car cannot drive into the city centre at all rather than paying a daily charge.
- About 220,900 licensed cars were recorded in the Glasgow City council area at the end of March 2026.
- The city had 1,177 public chargers at 1 April 2026, or 181.0 per 100,000 residents.
