About 15 percent of the new cars sold in California by 2025 must run on electricity, hydrogen fuel or other alternative fuels that produce near zero or no emissions, according to new rules adopted unanimously by state regulators on Friday.
Toyota has always believed that fuel cell technology is the long-term answer for zero emissions driving, so the company pulling back from a tepid market should not be viewed as a surprise.
The project to deliver a fleet of the zero emission taxis to the streets of London in time for 2012 is on track, with the first Fuel Cell Black Cabs covering a combined total of over 8, 000 miles in road and test track testing conditions.
