answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2014 answer text <p>We are not aware of any zero emission capable, purpose built taxis in use in London or the rest of the UK. However, a number of zero emission capable, purpose built taxis are planned from a range of manufacturers, and are due for release 2015 onwards. In addition, a small number of zero emission hydrogen taxis were used during the London Olympics.
