star this property answer text <p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>There are currently no Category ‘A' emergency breathing systems (EBS) in use by, or available to, passengers on UK offshore helicopter flights. The EBS currently in use in the UK sector of the North Sea does not meet the Civil Aviation Authority's (CAA) higher Category ‘A' specification contained in CAA Publication CAP 1034, primarily because it takes too long to deploy. The EBS used in the Norwegian sector also does not meet the Category ‘A' requirement, primarily as it cannot be deployed underwater.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>EBS that would likely meet Category ‘A' is commercially available. In particular the passenger short term air supply system (P-STASS) developed for the UK military, which the CAA understands is currently being considered by the industry, has previously been used for civilian operations (e.g. the Marine Incident Response Group).</p><p> </p><p><em> </em></p><p> </p> more like this

This includes grants towards the purchase price of the vehicle, and a home chargepoint, tax incentives, and support for an ever increasing network of rapid chargepoints. We have just launched a joint industry-Government communications campaign to dispel some of the myths around these vehicles, and recently announced a further £500m of support for the period 2015-2020. We currently plan to announce how this funding will be allocated in the spring.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

The motor industry is investing billions of pounds into low carbon research and development and the Government recently committed £500m, to be matched by industry, for the new Advanced Propulsion Centre. This is in addition to the £82m already committed for research and development through the Office for Low Emission Vehicles.
