The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership plays a key role in helping Government to deliver its low carbon transport strategy. The objective of the Strategy is to ensure that the UK takes a leading role in the global shift towards low carbon transport. The activities of the Partnership are governed through a Memorandum and Articles of Association. A multi-stakeholder Board of Directors is responsible for the direction and outputs of the Partnership.

A Members Council, comprising a cross-section of stakeholders oversees the work programme and supports the Secretariat.

Five Working Groups focus on the main areas of activity and establish project teams for specific tasks.

The Partnership’s work is coordinated by a permanent Secretariat headed by the LowCVP Managing Director.
