£500 million for clean car technology

"As the first oil arrives from the fragile Arctic, there has never been a better time to push our vehicles towards going low carbon. Not only does this investment boost Britain’s clean tech sector and maintain our leading position in an expanding global market, but in the long run it will help us stop poisoning our cities and trashing the environment for oil."
