National Perspective on Low
Carbon Technology:
Why Programmes like LCVTP
matter
Robert Evans, CEO, Cenex
Warwick University: 21st February 2012
Twin Policy Drivers for Low Carbon
Vehicle Technology
• Environmental
– UK Climate Change Act (2008)
• GHG emissions to be cut by 80% by 2050
• CO2 emissions to be cut by 26% by 2020
• Economic
– UK Industrial Competitiveness
• GVA from UK knowledge economy and advanced
manufacturing
• Energy security and energy efficiency as a platform for
competitiveness
