Pollution reduction technology in buses (2)

  • Reference: 2011/2433
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2011
Will TfL test for side effects of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology such as ammonia slip where un-reacted ammonia is discharged into the atmosphere, and the emission of dioxins?

  • Reference: 2011/2432
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2011
Are you concerned by the findings of Dutch study into Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, which shows that NOx emissions from what should have been Euro-5 trucks in the urban environment were only marginally better than those of Euro-3 vehicles, despite theoretically being 60% lower? Given these concerns, will the initial tests being carried out by Transport for London be followed up by regular in-service conformity testing of random vehicles using the same rigorous test track conditions?
