I'll let you know how I get on with TFL
I've just received a letter from TFL (.PDF via email) confirming the bike meets the required standard and they will update their register accordingly. I'll keep checking daily to see when the exemption shows on the system. I have another bike to submit, so will finish documenting the process with that and create a new (sticky) post.

It would be nice to see these regs make a real difference to the air quality in London. When this country boy has visited the metropolis on a few occasions, I can taste the pollution and always need a good wash when I get home!

Are they still using the old diesel busses and taxis in the ULEZ? I know Dirty drives an electric taxi at least.

Glad I didn't buy that Alfa V6, as these standards will be applied nationwide before very long.

Congrats @slob! How long did it take Ducati to reply? It's been a week for me now, don't expect the reply in the next month or so

@MrGazza, I believe most of the busses in London are some version of hybrid and they are planning to make them all electric (one day), but yes, agree with you that on the whole the ULEZ initiative is not a bad thing. How long until we see it Nationwide? Maybe after COP26 the process will be sped up?

Obviously hope that our bikes will always meet the standards, which is unfortunately a bit unrealistic...

You should get it whilst you still can, last blast/swansong and all that.

I've got a bit of thing for 6 cyl cars though never been brave enough to buy an Italian one...

Three days! … but I was told usually two to three weeks.
I’ll write the process up when I get home tonight.

Got rid of that, I now drive a ULEZ compliant 6 cyl 3.6L fuel guzzler (not a taxi)

There are still load of diesel taxis around. Euro 6 can be run for 15 years and the last ones were sold in 2018 I think, so will be on the road until 2033, Euro 5's had their limit reduced so should all be gone by the end of this decade I think.

ULEZ is just a cash cow. I doubt it will change air quality very much. Since announced I've had an eye out for vehicles that wouldn't pass and they are in a very small minority.

Of course it is, regardless of payment/charge/tax you still puff out the same amount of CO2 so the only one benefiting from ULEZ is TFL it's certainly not the environment.
So given that the primary function of any legislative authority is to relieve the population of every coin it possesses, this shows they are doing the job right ?????

Just an update on my case. Ducati Bologna have sent the declaration to me roughly 2 weeks after Ducati UK have confirmed everything with me. I have then uploaded the scan of that document as per @slob's instructions on TFL website on Wednesday the 17th and got an email from TFL today at noon saying they have received the document yesterday and will update the system accordingly. At 1 pm I logged in to TFL and the system is already updated, so all good for me!

Cancelled the Riverside Test center visit of course.

Cheers

It seems Imperial College London agree...

And it appears it may not quite be the cash cow TfL hoped...
