The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership has announced its first three-year strategy for accelerating the shift towards low emission vehicles.

Set up by the government 15 years ago, the organisation has identified the need to encourage “demand-pull” measures for cleaner solutions and address supply-side “blockages” as part of its new strategy.

Speaking at a parliamentary reception, LowCVP managing director Andy Eastlake said: “I am delighted that our three-year work programme has been supported.

“It gives us a longer view and greater stability as an organisation, providing the opportunity to strengthen our relationships with stakeholders in key areas.”

LowCVP has also announced that Lombard/Natwest will be joining its 200 member-strong partnership from April.
