Asked by: Andrew Selous (Conservative - South West Bedfordshire)
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government plans to introduce more hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to its service fleet.
Answered by Nusrat Ghani - Minister of State (Minister for Europe)
The Government Car Service (GCS) is currently evaluating a hydrogen fuel cell car to determine fitness for purpose under operational conditions. The restrictions on range, refuelling and passenger capacity will be considerations for this type of car as the fleet is renewed.
GCS are committed to meeting the target announced in the autumn budget that 25% of cars in central government will be ultra-low emission by 2022.
