A new publicly accessible hydrogen refuelling station has opened at the National Physical Laboratory in South West London. The station was opened by UK Transport Minister Andrew Jones, and is the first of three to be opened in the UK as part of the pan-European HyFive project, funded by the European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCHJU) and the UK Government Office of Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV).
At the same time, the minister announced a £2 million government fund to support the roll-out of hydrogen vehicles, saying: “We are committed to making all cars and vans zero-emission by 2050, and hydrogen vehicles have a huge role to play in delivering cleaner, greener journeys.
The new refuelling station at Teddington is just one of 12 stations opening up this year, backed by £5 million of government funding that will make it easier for more people to switch to this exciting new technology, as reported in Auto Trader magazine
