TfL Ref: FOI-2441-2122
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 25th January 2022 asking for information about the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked:
“Record of the total number of petrol cars and the total number of diesel car registered in Greater London on 08.04.2019 Record of the total number of petrol cars and the total number of diesel car registered in ULEZ zone on 08.04.2019 Record of the total number of petrol cars that meet Euro 4 standards and the total number of diesel car that meets Euro 6 standards registered on 08.04.2019 in ULEZ zone London on 08.04.2019 Record of the total number of petrol cars and the total number of diesel car registered in Greater London on 08.04.2019 Record of the total number of petrol cars and the total number of diesel car registered in Greater London on 25.10.2021 Record of the total number of petrol cars and the total number of diesel car registered on 08.04.2019 in extended ULEZ zone London on 25.10.2021 Record of the total number of petrol cars that meet Euro 4 standards and the total number of diesel car that meets Euro 6 standards registered on 25.10.2021 in extended ULEZ zone London on 08.04.2019 Record of number of fines issued for not meeting Euro 4 and number of fines issued for not meeting Euro 6 standards in ULEZ zone per each calendar year since 08.04.2019 Record of number of fines issued for not meeting Euro 4 and number of fines issued for not meeting Euro 6 standards in extended ULEZ zone since 25.10.2021.”
I am afraid that TfL does not hold the requested information. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/driver-and-vehicle-licensing-agency), rather than TfL, is responsible for the registration of vehicles. TfL does not hold records of the number of petrol / diesel cars registered in London. Note further that currently petrol vehicles impacted by the ULEZ need to meet a Euro 4 emission standard and diesel vehicles the Euro 6 standard. However, when we issue a PCN we do not record whether it is for a diesel vehicle not meeting Euro 6 or a petrol vehicle not meeting Euro 4 standard. Therefore we do not hold the information to answer your questions.
Note that we publish more general information about the ULEZ - including information about PCNs issued - in our regular Fact Sheet. The next issue is due later this month. The Fact Sheets can be found on our website here (scroll down to the “Finance, operations & performance” section):
