From January the Low Emissions Zone in London applies to Fiat Scudos made before 2002. I managed to get my "51" plate JTD registered as "Compliant" as I was able to prove that it meets the Euro 3 standard for particulate emissions.

If anyone needs any more info let me know. You don't need to change your van to drive in London!
:)
 
Thats good news for you. Mine is july 2006 2.0 JTD, which is not listed as LEZ required on the TFL website...but I am sure the day will come-For future reference how did you manage yours?
 
Got a letter from Fiat UK HQ. Took a few weeks to get the info but I will PM the contact I have it to anyone who needs it.
You then send a copy of the letter and a copy of your V5 with a form from the LEZ website and you should be sorted.
Currently only applies to vans before 2002, but as I knew the PSA engine in my 2001 van is the same as many later models I knew it should be "compliant".

The LEZ covers the area inside the M25 ring. You can check your van here:

Hello there,
I would be very grateful if you could PM me your contact at Fiat who provided you with the letter, and their address please.
Mine is a JTD2.0 Combinato with the Peugot engine which is exactly the same as the post 2002 model so I hope it will be compliant.
Thanks very much,
Richard
 
I have a year 2000 scudo jtd combi which doesn't comply . Later ones have a 16 valve cylinder head which does comply. Transport for london said i could register my car as an estate car and drive it in london. Dvla will only allow me to register it as an estate car only if fiat agree. To date they have not replied to my letter. I would be very grateful of a contact at fiat that could help. I do not understand why they won't help as it means that fiat drivers could sell their old cars instead of scrapping them . The discontent of thousands of drivers could lead to a loss of future sales.Do you know if citroen or peugeot are allowing their drivers to register as estate cars?

Hello there,
Sorry, I was intending to post my result and forgot all about it.
My 2000 Scudo Combi was registered with the DVLA as a van with side windows so was not compliant with the lez. I got a reply from a very helpful person at Fiat and I will send you his contact details if you contact me. I sent him an email with a copy of the v5, photos of the vin plate, pictures of the inside with the seats in and an explanation of my problems.
He replied almost immediately with a letter for TFL and one for DVLA explaining that the vehicle was an MPV and the registration class it should be in etc. I sent this to TFL (who have been very helpful when I phoned them) and they sent me a letter back about 3 days later classing my car as not subject to the LEZ, meaning that I can use it in London. Great result. Everyone was really helpful.
I will happily send you more information if you wish but it would be better to email everything.
Contact me and I will send you everything I sent and received.
The person at TFL did say that although they had classed it as not subject to LEZ, unless I got the car reclassified at DVLA, after about 3 months, their database would be updated from DVLA with the incorrect information and the car would revert to being non-compliant.
By the way I am not sure how the earlier person got their van classed as euro3 as the 2000 model is definitely only euro2 so could not be compliant as a van.
It is worth noting that the later vehicles with the 16 valve engines have worse fuel consumption and qualify for £400 pa road tax.
Good luck,
Richard.

Thank you for your prompt reply. This is exactly my problem aswell. I wrote to fiat in January but they did not reply. I would be very grateful of a contact at fiat.
 
Hello there,
I will sort out everything and email the main contact to you and any useful information.
I may not be able to send anything for a couple of days, but will try and get it done this week.
Cheers,
Richard.

Gentlemen, this is a forum which was made for you all to use and share information NOT via PM's.

If you have something to post then do so in the same way everyone else does.

My apologies if I have broken a rule of the forum.
That was not my intention but did feel that I should not publish the email address of the very helpful person at Fiat without speaking to him first. I did feel that it would be ok to let one person know (although the only reason I did so was as I had taken so long to reply).
I will put the text of my email and what I included and the text of the helpful gentleman's reply, on the forum if you feel that is the right thing to do.
I will happily PM the person's email address to other Scudo Combi owners after emailing him.
Again, my apologies for any offence caused.
Richard.
 
Thanks to your contact at fiat i have now registered my car as an MPV. I can now drive in London and possibly get a new job. thank you again for your help

I will, in the meantime, contact the gentleman at Fiat and see if he is happy for me to let others have his address.

Hello again,
My apologies for the long time in getting back, so busy (as are we all).
I have contacted the chap at Fiat but he hasn't got back to me. I will try again as soon as I get a chance.
In the mean time, I will still send his details to anyone interested but by PM if that is ok.
I see 10000mileman got a good result so I am happy to help anyone I can.
Cheers,
Richard.
