New research by scientists at King’s College London suggests that air pollution from London’s roads is improving overall but more work may be needed to tackle some sources of traffic pollution, which continue to breach limits in many parts of the city. Despite a reduction in the total number of vehicles on London roads by 0.5%

Annual GHG emissions relative to BASE Scenario (BASE Scenario = 949 kt CO 2 e on a 100-year GWP basis) for differing London bus fleet technology options. For the lean-burn CNG scenario, this meant considering exhaust and pipeline supply leaks. Lean-burn CNG is disadvantaged by unburned HC and natural gas pipeline leaks.

A new study by researchers from Imperial College London(ICL) of 39 new Euro 6 diesel passenger cars has found “ huge variability ” in the on-road NO x emissions of Euro 6 diesel passenger cars, with results ranging from 1 to 22 times the type approval limit. All but 2 exhibited higher NO x than the limit. g km -1 equates to 4.5

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, launched a £86.1-million million (US$111 million) program to retrofit around 5,000 older buses with a new exhaust system that will upgrade the vehicles to Euro VI emissions standards. In addition all buses within the central London Ultra-Low Emission Zone will be Euro VI hybrid standard by 2019.
