The Liberal Democrats have published a pre-election manifesto, which includes a Green Transport Bill – which an Air Products manager has expressed their disappointment over.
The Bill proposes that only low emission vehicles should be allowed on the roads by 2040 along with measures to help establish a full network of charging points for battery electric vehicles.
The plans will be voted on by members at the upcoming Liberal Democrat Party Conference in Glasgow and could become party policy if approved.
Diana Raine, European Business Manager, Hydrogen Energy Systems at Air Products, the leading supplier of hydrogen fuelling and re-fuelling equipment and infrastructure in the UK, comments, “The Green Transport Bill proposed by the Liberal Democrats underlines that the reduction of emissions from road transport will be an important policy area in the run-up to the General Election.
