The airport says it is gearing up to roll out "tough new measures" to protect air quality and reduce emissions around the busy west London hub ahead of works to expand the airport with a third runway.
It will introduce in 2022 what Heathrow claims is the world’s first Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), mandating minimum vehicle emission standards.
This will apply to passenger cars and private hire vehicles arriving at Heathrow’s car parks and drop-off areas at all five of the airport’s terminals 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
