LowCVP 'green and growth' study receives over 100 submissions to call for evidence

The LowCVP study which aims to review the impacts of a low carbon policy focus on UK automotive investment, growth and jobs has received over 100 responses to its call for evidence. This input, along with interviews with industry and stakeholder leaders will inform the study, the results of which will be announced at the LowCVP's Annual Conference on July 15.

 

The LowCVP commissioned E4tech and the Centre for Automotive Industry Research, Cardiff (CAIR) to undertake a study to focus on trends in UK automotive investment over the last decade and at the impacts of policy on the sector.

 

The UK automotive sector appears to have been an economic bright spots in an otherwise mainly bleak UK economic picture in recent years. High profile investments have created the impression of vibrancy in the UK’s low carbon automotive sector and its supply chain. These investments have coincided with the most rapid and sustained reductions in tailpipe CO2 emissions/efficiency improvements in UK automotive history.

 

The study, which will examine these developments, is supported by BIS and Greener Journeys. It seeks to consolidate the available data on UK automotive and related investments with a particular focus on low carbon. 

 

The findings of the study are to be presented and discussed by industry and other stakeholders at the LowCVP Conference on July 15.
