Nine years from now, petrol and diesel cars will be extinct
It's time to evolve
Air pollution affects our health and our planet.
To combat this, Bristol is introducing a Clean Air Zone in the city centre and high emission vehicles will be discouraged from travelling in the designated zone through the introduction of a daily charge.
Add to this the fact that in just nine years’ time, new petrol and diesel vehicles will be extinct so there’s never been a better time to go electric. Better for our health, communities, environment and bank balance.
What will the Clean Air Zone mean for Bristol?

Make the switch
We’ve become so reliant on our vehicles that we don’t always consider there could be another way of getting to our destination.
Walking, running or cycling are the most environmentally-friendly and just about the healthiest ways we can get from A to B. Great for us and the planet (double win!).
In addition, public transport or car sharing reduces congestion and the impact on the environment plus the last few years has seen a rise in business adoption of “greener” modes of transport such as e-cargo.

The spark you need
Electric Vehicles (EVs for short) have evolved a lot since they were first introduced to the UK market.
Now, nearly all major car manufacturers have electric vehicle options and the improvement in technology means you can travel a distance of over two hundred miles on one charge!
With lower running costs, no road tax on many models and financial incentives on offer, changing to an EV is now a realistic and affordable option for all drivers.
