This means making the most of world-leading reputation for the uptake of London’s hybrid, electric and hydrogen technology in the bus fleet. Current analysis indicates that a fully zero emission fleet could be in place by 2037, as shown in Figure 13, however more work is needed on this issue and TfL will work with suppliers to see how this timetable can be accelerated. Proposal 27 The Mayor, through TfL, will seek to ensure that, from 2018, all new double-deck buses will be hybrid, electric or hydrogen. In central London, all double-deck buses will be hybrid by 2019 and all new single-deck buses will emit zero exhaust emissions by 2020. The aim is for the whole TfL bus fleet to emit zero exhaust emissions by 2037 at the latest. For too long, the taxi trade has been restricted to heavy diesel vehicles. The Mayor is determined to establish taxi fleet as the greenest in the world and to phase out diesel London’s by requiring all newly licensed taxis to be Zero Emission Capable (ZEC) from 2018.
