Diesel Filters and London's Diesel Bus Fleet

  • Reference: 2017/4238
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
A recent BBC 5 Live report stated "thousands of motorists are breaking the law by driving diesel cars without pollution filters." Can you give me assurance that 100% of London's Contracted Diesel Bus Fleet is fitted with and always operating with functioning pollution mitigation technologies, including diesel filters and, where appropriate, AdBlue? If it is still possible to operate a London Bus with empty AdBlue Tanks, would this be considered to be a violation of the law too?

  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
In Question 2017/1688 (22 March 2017) you stated "At the bus operating companies, the Managing Directors are ultimately accountable for safety."
