I think there is more opinion than experience being communicated here. TfL are saying that vehicles before 2006 will be charged. Any imported vehicles after 2006 will have to show that it meets European levels. They are also saying it does not matter if it a Hybrid or not. if anyone has managed to get TfL to agree anything different, please let us hear

I posted to this thread in October 20, and while 2006 seems to be fixed in stone, TfL also raised concerns about my Alphard being a non European made vehicle and ask me to show the emissions evidence. Toyota Europe were not helpful. also it’s not the registration date that seems to matter, but the production date

I am assuming Alphard are compatible with the E10 unleaded petrol? Anyone had any difficulties?

Nov, this is very interesting, although you don’t say if TfL have accepted this as evidence for your 2005 Alphard. regards, Trefor

I have had an exchange with TfL, the RAC and two refit organisations. The bottom line is if it is pre-2006 there is no chance (whether it is an import, a hybrid or anything else). It is the age, and not whether it is a hybrid that counts. So not good news for those of us with great older hybrids!

I have a 2004 Alphard Hybrid, and live in London, so very interested in the answer to this. The problem with the reg check is that this goes on age, so it comes up with “will have to pay”. I have had a correspondence with tfl who say if I can get evidence from the manufacturer that it complies that would be enough, but Toyota UK say that Japan does not record the emission levels. So, anyone any further experience / ideas? Trefor

I live in London and have an Alphard Hybrid campervan conversion 2004. An ultra low emissions zone is being introduced and when I check whether I will have to pay, it comes back YES! Any experience out there? trefor

I am still interested in this, a photo would be great, regards

Yes please, would like to see it

Nick K, missed your post, sounds interesting, any chance of a picture?
