Bradford Council is in discussions with Toyota for a pilot scheme to introduce hydrogen-powered taxis in Bradford. This initiative is part of a larger plan that includes the construction of a hydrogen fuel site on Bowling Back Lane, with Government funding secured for the development. The partnership with Toyota could see hydrogen cell Mirai cars used as taxis in the district, refuelled at the new site. The project aims to decarbonize the taxi and private hire fleet in Bradford, with the potential of creating up to 125 new jobs and boosting the local economy by £120m. The hydrogen site is expected to produce 12.5 tonnes of hydrogen daily, contributing to removing 800 diesel-fuelled buses from the roads of West Yorkshire. The Mirai cars are described as zero harmful tailpipe emission vehicles, powered by electricity generated through a fuel cell stack. This development aligns with the district's efforts to increase the number of electric taxis and promote cleaner transportation options.
