Gateshead has several major roads passing through it, including the A184 connecting the town to Sunderland and the A1 connecting to Edinburgh and London. The Millennium Bridge, a cyclist and pedestrian tilt bridge between Gateshead arts quarter and Newcastle's Quayside, is powered by enough electric motors to run more than eight Ford Focus cars. A clean air zone was introduced in the town in early 2023, so some vehicles have to pay to drive through the area.

A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Gateshead to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Gateshead, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.

Hybrid car maintenance can be expensive if you don't shop around because hybrids contain an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, both of which need to be looked after. Our maintenance price guide provides more information.

Hybrid car servicing intervals are almost identical to regular internal combustion engine vehicles. You should book a full service once a year.

Can any garage service hybrid cars? This question is common among drivers. As you might expect regarding hybrid vs petrol engine maintenance, there is a crossover between the two. Any mechanic can carry out a service on the engine, but you'll need to find a technician with specialist skills to look after the electric components involved in a hybrid car service.

Similarly, hybrid battery diagnostic testing, hybrid battery health check and hybrid car battery replacement will all need to be completed by a mechanic with the right training. Read our ultimate guide to hybrid cars to learn more about ownership and maintenance.
