And which technologies should we focus on? - Can a hydrogen infrastructure play a role in integrating clean energy? The Future of Road Transport This panel will address topics and answer questions such as: - Will electric vehicles become a mainstream part of the future Green Economy, or remain a niche? - Is the technology available for commercial scale electric vehicles - and batteries? - Are we building the appropriate infrastructure for EV charging? - What is the role of biofuels? How will the EU Biofuel directive be implemented? Will we see flexfuel vehicles in the UK? - Can fuel cell or hydrogen vehicles offer a viable alternative in the UK? - Is the UK motor industry adapting and innovating fast enough to the Green Economy?
