answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>The Department's Transport Energy Model, which was published alongside the Road to Zero Strategy in 2018, clearly shows the environmental benefits of switching to ultra low emission vehicles, including ULEV taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (PHVs). The Government has accordingly provided £50m of funding for the Plug-in Taxi Grant Scheme, which offers a discount on the price of eligible taxis of up to £7,500.</p><p>In February 2019 the Department announced that 17 local authorities had been awarded a total of £6.89m through the second round of the Ultra-Low Emission Taxi Infrastructure Competition. The funding enables Local Authorities to install chargepoint infrastructure dedicated to ultra-low emission taxis, and comes in addition to the £14m awarded in the first round of the scheme to 10 local authorities.</p><p>The Plug-in Car Grant provides up to £3,500 towards eligible ultra low emission cars, including for PHVs. Both taxi and PHV drivers may also be eligible for a grant of up to £500 under the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme, for the installation of a domestic chargepoint.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 25/03/2019 15:54:15 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>HyDeploy is funded under Ofgem’s Gas Network Innovation Competition and is being delivered by the HyDeploy consortium, led by Cadent and Northern Gas Networks. Officials are following the progress of the project closely and will review the project when it finishes in 2020. More broadly, the Government is exploring hydrogen’s potential to deliver against its clean growth goals across the energy system and the wider economy. Specifically, in the case of transport, the approach has been to support the market in its early stages, by funding the deployment of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles with the appropriate hydrogen refuelling infrastructure.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 22/03/2019 12:23:43 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
