[QUOTE="chad, post: 588967, member: 19132"] Probably banned from city centres following on from London. They've got a major problem though with lorries, delivery vans etc.. Even if the technology was available, which it isn't in a large number of applications, it'll take many years to replace the existing vehicles - you can't just manufacture x million 'green' vans overnight. I'd see distribution depots just outside the city limits with 'green' vans doing the last few miles in and out of the city - they'd be a lot more of these than artics so the roads would be even more clogged up. There are so many problems in doing this I expect, as you say, the private motorist will be hit first and then the can will be kicked down the road for the next government - at least the Conservatives are not as in thrall to the Greens as Labour was. We've got a diesel Galaxy and an old C15 van which is dissolving more every time it rains so I'd be happy to trade that in in a scrappage scheme. [/QUOTE]
