Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership
Facilitate cross-sectoral engagement between industry and other stakeholders Encourage research, demonstration and commercialisation of low carbon automotive technologies in the UK and assist UK businesses participate in emerging markets Contribute towards the setting, and achievement, of UK Government’s targets for carbon reduction from the road transport sector Deliver an effective flow of information within and between industry and other stakeholders
Accelerating a sustainable shift to low carbon vehicles and fuels in the UK Stimulating
- pportunities for
UK businesses

Summary
The car of the future will be zero emission – addressing the environmental challenges of climate change, air pollution and noise Hybrid Synergy Drive technology is an important step in the evolution of technology to zero emission vehicles The LowCVP is working effectively to accelerate the transformation of the market which is currently limited by inadequate incentives to change consumer attitudes and buying behaviour The high cost and limited availability of renewable transport fuels is a major barrier to the introduction of low carbon vehicles Toyota has commenced a journey to the zero emission car of the future
- other stakeholders must also contribute to accelerate progress
