<p> </p><p>As set out in Driving the Future Today our strategy document published
last year, the Government is committed to the move to ultra-low emission vehicles.
We recognise the economic opportunities for the UK that this transition provides as
well its potential contribution to cutting the emissions from road transport.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government's approach to this agenda has been consistently technology neutral
and we have been active participants in UKH2Mobility. This is a joint industry-Government
project evaluating the potential for hydrogen as a transport fuel and the scope to
make the UK an early market for the commercial deployment of hydrogen fuel cell electric
vehicles (FCEVs) from 2015 onwards. The UKH2Mobility project is ongoing and both Government
and industry participants are working together to consider the steps needed to secure
the benefits of moving to hydrogen as a transport fuel for the UK. This includes the
clear contribution that studies have shown FCEVs can make to improving air quality
in the UK. We have undertaken no specific research on the impact of FCEVs on air quality
in London.</p>
