A new hub has launched in Oxfordshire as part of an initiative to give people access to hydrogen fuel.

The first Hydrogen Hub, of which Toyota is a stakeholder, launched in Swindon and Wiltshire in January 2016. The Oxford branch will support the city's ambition to be the first zero-emission zone by 2020.

A Mirai saloon was on display at the event at the Said Business School, which brought together local stakeholders and hydrogen and fuel cell companies to develop projects that will use technology to meet the community’s energy needs.

James Clark, of Toyota, said: "We recognise the potential hydrogen has to reshape society as a plentiful, clean and efficient source of energy."

"Our Mirai saloon is a first example of how we can use fuel cell electric technology to deliver zero emission mobility that is convenient, safe and practical."
