Hi
Are there any of the truck satnav is out there that actually can route around the zones? Such as the Birmingham clean air zone, and the London Zones.
Such as the TomTom Go Expert and the Garmin Dezl series.
I would imagine there will be POI files that you can download

Some suggestions on various fora that if you check the no toll roads option, satnavs will route around the zones where possible [emoji6]

Thing is I’ll bet most people aren’t touched by this as most zones don’t include Euro 6 which came in for cars in 2015 I think.
Personally both my cars are Euro 6 and I suspect the hearty metropolis of Rugby is someway off introducing such a zone and there’s absolutely zero draw to drag me into the centre of it anyway 
For heavy diesel it was introduced in 2014 I believe. I think the last time I drive truck that was older than that was about four years ago and they’ve been retired now.
That’s not to say that I agree with it with clean air zones, or chargeable clean air zones anyway. I genuinely don’t see how paying a charge suddenly changes your toxic death gases into cuddly care bears popping out the tailpipe but hey ho.
And I get the “discouragement” argument but generally these things tend to hit those who run a car but can’t justify or afford a model that fits the standards…
To encourage (or discourage) the alternatives need to be simple and easy to attain. I’m not poor by any stretch but, I do have a family so can’t whizz around on a scooter and need a family car for which you’re looking at 30/40k currently and I can’t justify that at all.

Theres signs on part of the east lancs road which I suspect are to do with a charge zone, but just says 2022. That should be great if the M62 is shut or they still haven’t finished the “upgrade”.
Aa for Euro 6 cars, can’t afford to change my 2012 Kia Ceed (nothing fancy) which I assume isn’t that. And a hell of alot of other people won’t be able to either. To busy trying to pay for all the other bill increases.
