“Clean, low carbon gas powered vehicles are an obvious, sustainable choice for transport”, says the head of the Gas Vehicle Networks (GVN), Mike Foster. Following GVN analysis on the fuel source of gas vehicles, since 2018.

The consultation on the Government’s Clean Air Strategy, released on the 22nd May, closed today. Responding to the consultation the Natural Gas Vehicle Network, (NGVN) believe the strategy to be too weak and lacking in resolve.
