Fuel Cells On the Road In London

The move away from oil dependency continues with baby steps. The latest is the first of a promised fleet of fuel cell powered London taxis expected to be completed in time for the 2012 Olympiad.

The combination of fuel cell and battery pack give the cab a surprising turn of speed - London's cabbies won't be struggling when it comes to beating the clock.

More importantly this marks the arrival of the UK's first road legal Zero Emission Vehicle.
