Nine British technology companies have formed a pressure group to lobby for
tougher controls on pollution from transport. The group, part of the
Environmental Industries Commission, a wider lobby group, includes British Rail
Research and Johnson Matthey, which manufactures catalytic converters for cars.
Pelham Hawker, Johnson Matthey’s marketing director and chairman of the new
group, says that technology “can make a real contribution to reducing the
environmental impacts of transport”.
