Request ID: FOI-2773-2223 Date published: 27 February 2023
You asked
Can you please tell me what is the quantity and type of pollutants emitted from a Euro 5 2016 transit custom 2.3-litre van and a Euro 6 2.3-litre van 2016? Assume 80% urban driving and provide pollution figures for 5000 10,000 and 30,000 miles per year.?
If you do not have it for this specific vehicle any 2-litre diesel van will be acceptable
Can you also say how much TFL will make in extra revenue in years 1,2,3 and 4 after ULEZ is extended?

Can you also say how much TFL will make in extra revenue in years 1,2,3 and 4 after ULEZ is extended?
From scheme go live on 29 of August 2023 to the end of the 2026/27 financial year, TfL is forecasting to generate an incremental net operating surplus of c£300m from the expansion of the ULEZ scheme. The net operating surplus represents the revenue after deducting for costs associated with operating and enforcing the scheme. There is a large potential range on this forecast of +/-50% as it is very sensitive to a number of assumptions such as predicted volumes, vehicle compliance rates and payment rates associated with penalty charge notices.
