Thank you for your request of 2nd January 2024 – as clarified on 10th January 2024 - asking for information about London buses.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked:
“I am enquiring to the buses that are in use in London as of now. Now I had a transit recovery truck when LEZ came into force and I had to depend £2600 getting a pirrelli exhaust system to make my vehicle compliant, the company that fitted this system was M&B MOTORS New Addington Croydon surrey.

I can confirm that we hold the information you require.
Since January 2021 the entire bus fleet has met ULEZ standards. This was achieved through a combination of replacing older buses with new Euro VI or zero-emission buses; through bus route tendering between 2016 and 2020; and by retrofitting mid-life buses to meet Euro VI emissions. This retrofitting took place from 2017 to 2020. The companies that retrofitted buses operated by TfL’s contracted London bus operators include: Amminex, Eminox, HJS and Proventia.
More general information about our work to improve buses – including cleaner, greener buses – can be found on our website here:
