Welcome to a spurious episode of the Automotive Anecdotes with Jon & Greg as we road trip to the Classic Motor Show at the NEC, and nearly get killed in the process (you might have to watch the YouTube version to get the full effect!).

So sit back and enjoy our random wander through the automotive world as we drive to the NEC!

The Future of Motoring Podcast Ep 4 - Synthetic Fuel

Welcome to Series 2 of the Automotive Tales Podcast: Automotive Anecdotes where we're looking at the more serious topic of the future of motoring in the UK.  Following the announcement of the ban of the sale of new cars and vans with Internal Combustion Engines being brought forward to 2030, we thought we'd try and understand a bit more about that and what options that leaves the motorist.

As usual, your two hosts are Jon & Martin are on hand to run the show, but we are extremely lucky to be joined by two experts on the topic of the future of motoring:

Graham Bennett

A specialist in the Hydrogen Economy in the UK who will guide us through how hydrogen will more than likely play a big part in motoring of the future and also how that fits into the bigger energy picture

Jess Shanahan

Jess very kindly provided her valuable time as a Future Mobility Journalist to support our little Podcast.  You can find out more about Jess on her website

https://jessshanahan.com/

And all about her Route 57 electric car journey here:

Jess also runs a content service:

has two YouTube Channels:

And you can catch up with the latest on her social media:

i: @jetlbomb

f: https://www.facebook.com/jessshanahanwriter

And Jon is on hand to talk through the idea of Synthetic Fuels and how that might support a slightly different motoring future.

We'll be breaking this series down into 5 short podcasts than before, covering the following topics

Episode 1 - What is changing and why

Episode 2 - Electric Vehicles

Episode 3 - Hydrogen

Episode 4 - Synthetic Fuels

Episode 5 - Summary

We really hope you enjoy the podcasts and we encourage you to join the conversation using the comments on YouTube and social media:
