November 6, 2011 By Cars UK

Hydrogen powered London Taxi

Boris Johnson promised a ‘Hydrogen Highway’ for London in time for the 2012 Olympics, and we hear the first 15 hydrogen fuel cell London Black Cabs have hit the roads. Over two years ago London Mayor, Boris Johnson, promised we would have a ‘Hydrogen Highway’ in London in time for the 2012 Olympics, with a small […]

London Mayor Boris Johnson has cut funding to build electric car charging points in London by 65% Back in the Summer of 2009 Captain Boris announced to the Climate Change Conference in Seoul (how many carbon dioxides did it cost all the delegates to get there, I wonder) that he intended making London the electric car Capital […]

The London Taxi Fuel Cell

London Taxis International have previewed a hydrogen powered Black Cab in London, the first of what they hope will be a fleet in time for London 2012.

Hydrogen Car Highway for London

August 26, 2009 By Cars UK

Boris Johnson has announced plans to create a ‘Hydrogen Highway’ in London, similar in concept to the Hydrogen push in California pioneered by the Governator – Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now this we approve of. It’s a much more forward-thinking plan than Boris’s aim to make London the Electric Car Capital of Europe’. The plan is fairly […]

Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Starts

August 22, 2009 By Cars UK

Mercedes has announced that the  Smart ForTwo Electric Drive will begin rolling of the production line in Hambach, France in November.

Volvo gunning for Boris over London Congestion Charge

June 30, 2009 By Cars UK

To be entirely accurate, Volvo aren’t actually out to get Boris Johnson, just the ridiculous exemptions policy that exists for London Congestion charging. At present, a wide range of Hybrid cars are exempt from congestion charging. Which does seem odd. On what basis? Because they’re flavour of the month, or because Ken – when he […]

Electric Smart (EV) to go in to production

June 22, 2009 By Cars UK

Smart has been trialing its Smart EV for the last couple of years in the UK, with customers paying £375 per month for the joy of being a guinea pig for the little city car in electric form. Which actually seems like a huge amount of money to me, especially considering the benefits for Mercedes […]

May 19, 2009 By Cars UK

I’m not really sure that we can currently claim to be the Electric Car Capital of Europe, but if London Mayor Boris Johnson has anything to do with it, we will be.

Boris drives a Tesla Roadster

January 19, 2009 By Cars UK

You’ve got to hand it to Tesla, or at least their P.R. people. They are certainly in the news in 2009. We brought you the news from Detroit that Tesla is to introduce a new version of its Tesla Roadster, the Tesla Roadster S, followed by the news that they are seeking finance for a […]

Boris lets motorbikes in bus lanes

January 5, 2009 By Cars UK

It wasn’t too difficult to make the choice between Ken and Boris in the last London Mayor elections. Ken had done much that got under the skin of the average Londoner, and it was time for a change. But, however affable Boris is, it always seemed likely he could easily cock everything up. But he […]
