All vehicles (barring a probable exemption for motorcycles, tricycles etc.) will have to comply with whatever emissions levels are set or be charged. Currently looking at 2023 for full introduction iirc, delayed due to Covid.
Taxi trade are already trying to get an extension to 2027 due to the effect of Covid on their members finances.

The only times I’ve been in Edinburgh City Centre in years is to go to the Apple store. It’s a nightmare driving anyway near the centre nowadays.
Park at the Omni centre, walk up to the end of Princes Street go to the shop, then back to the car park and home.
Any further discouraging of traffic will simply mean I’d never go there at all.

Motorbikes are covered too my wr250 isnt compliant, my trafic isnt compliant, my allroad isnt compliant, my man tge is compliant but doesnt fit in most of the available parking spaces. looks like a few edinburgh clients will be getting ditched. My glasgow city centre clients have service yards the man fit in so its not so bad.Taxi trade are already trying to get an extension to 2027 due to the effect of Covid on their members finances.
Its insanity a 10 year old cayenne turbo is compliant but a 250cc motorbike isnt.
I have always hated trying to carry out maintenance at city centre locations its time to stop I think.

"Glasgow's Low Emission Zone will apply to ALL vehicles except motorcycles, mopeds, motorised tricycles and quadricycles. The expected emission standards are:Its insanity a 10 year old cayenne turbo is compliant but a 250cc motorbike isnt.

Euro 4 standard for petrol vehicles (generally vehicles registered from 2006 onwards)
Euro 6 standard for diesel vehicles (generally vehicles registered from 2015 onwards)
Euro VI standard for heavy duty diesel vehicles such as buses / coaches and HGVs (generally vehicles registered from 2015 onwards)
Vehicles which have been appropriately modified or retrofitted to meet or exceed these emission standards will also be permitted entry to the LEZ."

Ever since I started driving on business (so since ~ 1982 ) Edinburgh has always struck me as the most anti-vehicle major city centre certainly in Scotland if not the entire North of Great Britain ...Park at the Omni centre, walk up to the end of Princes Street go to the shop, then back to the car park and home.

& it has got progressively worse over the years.
