Figure 34  CO2 emissions/passenger from different transport concepts
These figures assume current UK electric generation.  *Further CO2 reductions may be possible if dedicated
lanes are used for these vehicles to avoid congestion.  ** Further CO2 reductions may be possible if charged on
excess or overnight electricity obtained via nuclear and renewables. These electric powered vehicles could be
potentially zero emission given the appropriate generating source.
