Drivers in built-up areas with the most polluting cars will receive up to £3,000 ($4,163) to replace their cars with greener forms of transport.
The scheme will be trialled for two years in Coventry this spring, targeted at those with diesel cars built before 2016 and petrol motors before 2006.
Motorists in the area who agree to have their car towed away for the duration of the trial will be given between £1,500 and £3,000 to spend on alternative transport.
The West Midlands scheme is being paid for as part of a £22m "future transport" initiative funded by the government. A similar programme could also take place in Hampshire.
“These will be used on alternative modes of transport such as bicycles and electric scooters but will also work on congestion-easing forms like public transport, car clubs and taxis.”
