Modern diesel cars could be stung by a new £12.50 daily charge when entering Central London.
This is the first time pollution penalties have been given to modern diesel engines.
Tomorrow, London Mayor Sadiq Khan will announce plans to bring forward the introduction of an ultra-low emissions zone.
Drivers of these old dirty diesel cars will therefore have to pay the £10 T-charge on top the £11.50 congestion charge.
This initiative follows Government plans to introduce a £20-a-day charge to target diesel cars built before September 2015, across the UK.
Diesel cars are one of the biggest contributors to air pollution in the UK, which leads to 40,000 premature deaths every year.
Nitrogen oxides from diesel engines are linked to several respiratory issues including asthma.
“In London over 9,000 Londoners die each year because of the poor quality air.
“There are children in parts of London whose lungs are under developed and there are 438 school in areas where the are is illegal.
“A few weeks ago I had to issue the first ever very high air pollution alert because of the poor quality air in London.
“Inaction is no longer an option, and so i’m taking bold action now to make sure we fix the air in London.”
On the toxic charge coming into force in October the Mayor issued a firm warning to diesel drivers.
“Unless your car is clean you can’t come into central London, unless you pay an additional penalty.
