Join us for this not-be-missed highlight of the low carbon transport calendar!
This year, the LowCVP Conference this year is held in association with the 'Make the Future' exhibition and delegates will also have a VIP opportunity to see cars of the future in action at the Shell Eco-marathon. 'Make the Future' is a festival of ideas and innovation which is coming to London from 30 June to 3 July 2016.
This leading event on the green transport policy calendar will again attract leading figures from government, industry, academia and the environmental movement to discuss:
- The political and economic situation for the UK low carbon auto and fuels sector following the Paris Conference, the EU Referendum and in the context of the Fifth Carbon Budget – which must be set by June 30
- How the UK is placed to develop and benefit from the low carbon propulsion technologies of the future
- Efficient, intelligent and autonomous; how new technologies can change the outlook for transport carbon
- The energy infrastructure for future mobility; how do we move to an EV-ready powergrid?
- Future vehicles; delivering lower carbon and cleaner air & including LowCVP’s key initiatives in 2016-17
A drinks reception in the Olympic Park will provide for an exciting opportunity for a private viewing of the ‘Make the Future’ exhibition and the Eco-marathon competitors and venue.
The LowCVP Conference 2016 will also be held in association with the Advanced Propulsion Centre.
