Anne Shaw, Assistant Director \'96 Transportation and Connectivity at Birmingham City Council, said: \'93We have to introduce a Clean Air Zone as part of the Government\'92s strategy to bring the country into line with the law.\ \ \'93The fact our city has an ageing fleet of cabs means we need to look at how we can work with drivers to re-profile the vehicles serving customers in the city as their impact on air quality is significant. \'93Through the funding the council has successfully unlocked from the Government, we\'92ve been able to play a part in forming links with technology providers and engineers to come up with part of the solution to one of the city\'92s major public health issues.\ \ \'93This is one of a package of measures and investment that will encourage people to use other fuels and forms of transport in the city.

In comparison to the diesel engine, we achieved an improvement of 99.9 per cent on particles and 99 per cent on NO2 emissions.\'94
