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. Many private hire vehicle companies across the UK already use zero emission capable vehicles – which are typically hybrid or electric cars, used for commercial purposes.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 25/11/2014 15:05:52 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2014 answer text <p>The Government takes a leading role in EU negotiations on new car and van CO2 regulations which are the major driver of greenhouse gas emissions reductions in cars and vans. The UK fleet is currently ahead of these targets in terms CO2 reduction and emits 22% less CO2 than in 2007. Pollutant emissions (for example particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)) are regulated by European (‘Euro’) Emission Standards standards.　 These have become increasingly stringent and delivered large reductions for most pollutants.　 Government’s focus is now achieving real world reductions of NOx for diesel vehicles as new standards are introduced (Euro 6 for cars and vans, Euro VI for buses and lorries). The Government is committed to making the UK a global leader in the design, manufacture and uptake of ultra low emission vehicles which address both carbon and air quality issues. Uptake of these vehicles has increased fourfold year on year and they are approach 1% of new car sales.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 20/11/2014 14:20:11 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
