London’s older, diesel polluting vehicles are causing some of the worst air in Europe, and will be charged a new 10-pound ($13) T-Charge when entering the central city.
Drivers of older diesel cars are currently paying the 11.50-pound congestion charge and will now pay a total of 21.50 pounds to drive an affected vehicle in central London.
