The total ICE ban was going to completely shut the door on hydrogen so they changed the wording.
minus-squareuis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 years agoDoesn’t hydrogen use fuel cells anyway? Fuel cells aren’t ICE. Edit: yep, fuel cells. So this was bullshit edit so automakers can keep selling their ICE.

Toyota already did it with an old corolla and a rally Yaris https://mag.toyota.co.uk/restomod-ae86/ https://mag.toyota.co.uk/hydrogen-gr-yaris-showcases-experimental-engine/ so not fully shutting the door but still a big hindrance.
