Boris Johnson Planning Hydrogen Highway in London

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

London Mayor Boris Johnson has announced plans to help create UK’s first hydrogen highway to promote the use of fuel cell vehicles.

According to The Times, Johnson intends to assemble a pilot fleet of about 150 hydrogen cars in the run-up to the 2012 London Olympics, together with five buses and 20 black taxis.

Johnson believes that the hydrogen network would be developed alongside government plans to introduce electric cars.

London’s officials believe that within twenty years one in three of the 31m cars in Britain could be fuelled by hydrogen. The plans for the hydrogen network will be developed alongside plans to encourage electric cars.

Earlier this year,
Britain’s government announced £250 million scheme to deliver a green motoring transformation. Johnson followed up by unveiling a scheme for 25,000 “juice points” — charging stops for electric cars across London.
