Delivering the keynote presentation at the LowCVP's 'Safety and CO2' conference, held in collaboration with PACTS and the IMechE, Mark Fowkes of MIRA said that there are some conflicts between the safety and CO2 reduction agendas but in many cases they are compatible and mutually supportive. The event covered the key issues relating to both agendas: light-weighting of vehicles, hybrid and electric vehicle safety, low rolling resistance tyres, speed management and eco-safe driving. Presentations from the event are now downloadable from the LowCVP website.
Held at the IMechE in Central London, the event is believed to be the first to have as its sole focus the attempt to bring together safety and carbon reduction issues in the context of road transport. The event arose out of initial discussions between the LowCVP and the Parliamentary Advisorty Council for Transport Safety (PACTS). The event was jointly chaired by Greg Archer, the LowCVP Managing Director and Robert Gifford, Executive Director of PACTS.
