We answered

Our Ref:         FOI-0446-2223

Thank you for your request received on 25 May 2022 asking for information about bus emissions.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy.

Since January 2021, the TfL fleet of around 8300 buses operating across London meets or exceeds Euro VI emission standards, the same emissions standard as the Ultra-Low Emission Zone. Euro VI is the latest emission standard for vehicles reducing emissions of NOx by up to 90%.

The fleet is made up of zero emission (at the tailpipe) buses, new Euro VI standard buses, buses retrofitted to Euro VI standards and hybrid Euro VI standard buses.

Unfortunately we do not hold the information you have requested. We have, however, recently published a fleet audit on our website that may be of use:

If you have any further queries with which I can be of assistance please let me know.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
