Class A – Buses, coaches, taxis, private hire vehicles.
Class B – Buses, coaches, taxis, private hire vehicles, heavy goods vehicles.
Class C – Buses, coaches, taxis, private hire vehicles, heavy goods vehicles, vans, minibuses.
Class D – Buses, coaches, taxis, private hire vehicles, heavy goods vehicles, vans, minibuses, cars, the local authority has the option to include motorcycles.

In Bristol there is financial assistance available for SMEs and self-employed businesses that meet at least two of the following criteria:
All SMEs that meet this threshold of criteria will be prioritised for these business grants in the first round of funding. Support may be extended to businesses and organisations outside of the zone subject to the level of interest received by Bristol council.
Both Bath and Portsmouth have closed applications for funding. However, Bristol, Birmingham, Bradford, Sheffield, and Newcastle & Gateshead are still open for applications.

Evaluating what euro classifications mean and whether your vehicle is affected under these newly implemented CAZ schemes can be tricky to navigate. Fortunately, at Vanaways we only sell brand new euro 6 emission compliant vans. Meaning that for most of the active zones you won’t have to pay any charges when driving through them.
See the below classification key to help you identify which euro emission standards your vehicle falls under:

Most clean air zone locations will have similar compliance values in place across different euro emission standards. As a rule of thumb, the below vehicles are exempt from the daily charges.
Certain localities may have their own emission standards in place depending on specific vehicle types and harmful gas limits. The best way to see if your vehicle is compliant across the different active Clean Air Zones is via the government check your vehicle tool.
All of the vans we sell are euro 6 emission compliant, EV’s and CAZ friendly, see the below examples of some of the exempt vans we sell!
Due to the government commitment to improving air quality in major cities, there is various support available to both individuals and business owners affected by the clean air zone schemes. The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles are a governmental team working to support the take-up of zero emission vehicles and funding to improve the UK charge point infrastructure.
Most of the participating local authorities will be partnered with the Clean Air Fund who are offering discounts towards sustainable travel alternatives and vehicle upgrades.
If your van is not compliant, you may be eligible to get up to £4500 in government funding to upgrade/replace your vehicle. Alongside this, you may be eligible for an exemption; primarily aimed at those who have wheelchair accessible taxis or business owners/residents whose vehicles are registered within the clean air zone (private car, taxi, vans).
As a company, Vanaways we are committed to improving our environmental sustainability within our organisation and business operations.
We only supply brand new vans which are either euro 6 emission compliant or electric vehicles (EV’s), making them clean air zone compatible.

"First class service, I must mention Adrian & Ash on an excellent deal & swift turn around under the short notice I had to buying a new van. Slight delay in the delivery of the van from manufacturers end but Adrian agreed to cover the cost of a hire van until my new van was delivered which allowed me to continue working. its the first time i've purchased a van without physically entering a dealership and i wouldn't hesitate to do it again."
