I think taxation will change with time. If all new vehicles fall into a zero band, then the band’s parameters will be changed.
Alternative fuels? I reckon you’re right.
Jacky Perrenot is after 1,000 CNG trucks by 2020 I think. Bit more than a tentative toe in the water, I’d say.
The choice between LPG v CNG is a no brainer.That’s even without factoring in the superior infrastructure already in place to fill LPG fuelled vehicles.

The most realistic way forward would be large scale switch from diesel to LPG then LPG to hydrogen fuelled ICE.On that note it’s unbelievable that everyone is still trying to cling on to obsolete,dirty,expensive diesel requiring all the aggro of Euro 6 vehicles and paying more than £1 per litre for the privilege .When it’s just a case of telling the vehicle manufacturers to supply a spark ignition engine therefore suitable for running on alternative cleaner fuels.Which is already doable using available technology.
