In the 2013-14 timeframe, CO2 reduction will be enabled by ‘the bottom
half’ of the NAIGT roadmap. For many manufacturers this is the
dominating focus for current resources and technology investment.

How LCVTP Addresses the Needs
• Most existing projects are aiming at vehicle level applications.
• LCVTP is intended to take a good hard look at enabling technologies
- Such as batteries/controls systems & parasitic losses etc.
• Harnesses capabilities & experience of all Partners, Sub-contractors
and external project expertise.
• Develops simulation tools and technology concepts with lab/ GTV
validation to Application ready.
• Feeds into follow-on OEM / Supplier projects.
Reducing Carbon Emissions
1. Activity - reduced transport usage
2. Reduce carbon content of fuel or fuels from renewable sources
3. Improve vehicle and power-train efficiency

Supply Chain Engagement Strategy
•
Help UK Low Carbon SME / Suppliers develop enhanced ULC capability
through engagement with the LCVT Project & Partners.
•
Create an environment that builds relationships between Partners and potential
third party SME’s and Suppliers in the UK LCV supply chain.
•
Allow access for SME / Suppliers to LCVTP technology and outputs.
•
Promote active project engagement within the project funding rules.
Active Engagement
1.
Take part in workstreams as a collaboration & benefit from the project
2.
Supply resource, materials, analysis, prototyping, test work
Passive Engagement
1.
No part in the R&D project
2.
Take part in the Dissemination phase at the end of the project
