The Future of Motoring Podcast Ep 3 - Hydrogen Fuel

Welcome to Series 2 of the Automotive Tales Podcast: Automotive Anecdotes where we're looking at the more serious topic of the future of motoring in the UK.  Following the announcement of the ban of the sale of new cars and vans with Internal Combustion Engines being brought forward to 2030, we thought we'd try and understand a bit more about that and what options that leaves the motorist.

As usual, your two hosts are Jon & Martin are on hand to run the show, but we are extremely lucky to be joined by two experts on the topic of the future of motoring:

Graham Bennett

A specialist in the Hydrogen Economy in the UK who will guide us through how hydrogen will more than likely play a big part in motoring of the future and also how that fits into the bigger energy picture

Jess Shanahan
