Stage 1 remapping in Camden
Just 12.3% of privately kept cars in the Camden council area ran on diesel at the end of June 2026, the 4th lowest share of the 104 largest towns we cover. That is 4,217 diesel cars, down from 4,442 a year earlier, while petrol made up 64.2%. For the owners of those diesels, Stage 1 remapping brings more mid-range torque, the pull that makes joining faster roads and overtaking easier. It comes from software changes to fuel, boost and timing, kept within the engine's limits, with nothing bolted on. A car with a DPF or injector fault is repaired before it is remapped.

Driving in and around Camden
Camden sits inside the London Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all London boroughs and can charge cars and vans a daily fee. A remap doesn't change a vehicle's emissions standard, so it won't change whether the ULEZ charges yours. In the 2021 Census, just 6.9% of working residents in the council area drove to work, and 63.6% of households had no car. Plug-in cars made up 12.8% of private cars in June 2026, the 2nd highest share of the 104. The M1 is on the main road list, and London Gateway Services on the M1 is 11.8 km away. In 2025 MOT tests across NW postcodes, the Mercedes-Benz E Class was the most tested diesel car and the Ford Transit the most tested van.
