emissions question Roger King FRIGOBLOCK HAS questioned why Transport for London (TfL) does not consider the emissions from truck diesel refrigeration units entering the London lowemission zone (LEZ). Managing director John Winter says many trailer refrigeration units would not even reach Euro-2 standards, yet they are allowed to enter the LEZ.
"Trucks entering London have to be a minimum of Euro-3, but there is no control on fridge engines — which seems strange to me."
He adds that an industrial standard for fridge engines was introduced in December 2007, but they do not have to meet any emissions standards.
Frigoblock's own fridge engines are hybrid diesel-electric units which meet Euro-5 standards.
TfL was not available for comment as CM closed for press.
