Chevin's Reduced Pollution Solution

With the introduction of the London Low Emission Zone (LEZ), on February 4th 2008, all of Chevin Fleet Solutions' transport management software systems will help to ensure that vehicle operators' fleets comply with the LEZ emission standards. To further help with vehicle compliance, Chevin has also recently developed a Reduced Pollution Certificate (RPC) Renewal Tool to ensure that vehicles which do not comply with the emission regulations for the Zone, will be immediately highlighted to fleet managers, potentially saving thousands of pounds in charging fees. This new development ensures that un-certified vehicles will be flagged immediately to vehicle operators by exception, in easy-to-read, traffic-light coloured reports where applicable, and the correct VOSA compliant forms will be automatically generated from the system and despatched to the authorising body for renewal. Further reminders to vehicle operators identifying un-certified vehicles can also be sent via email, fax or SMS, and can continue to be sent, until those vehicles are certified correctly. Which vehicles does LEZ affect? - From February 2008, lorries over 12 tonnes must meet a standard of Euro-3 for particulate matter (PM) - From July 2008, HGVs, buses and coaches between 3.5 and 12 tonnes must meet a standard of Euro-3 for PM - From October 2010, vans between 1.205 tonnes unladen and 3.5 tonnes and minibuses must meet Euro-3 for PM - From January 2012, lorries over 12 tonnes, buses and coaches must meet Euro-4 for PM
