 | Why is the Technology Challenge happening?
The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, LowCVP, has a rolling remit to encourage and facilitate innovation in low carbon vehicle technologies in order to support their deployment in the UK. LowCVP identified that networking ideas is fundamental to new innovations and helping to connect small and emerging technology based companies with the right people higher in the automotive supply chain could produce substantive benefits. The Technology Challenge has been developed to facilitate this connection, to raise awareness and to catalyse potential new partnerships.
Our Technology Challenge signifies the need for innovative concepts, we need to make good, timely progress towards achieving 80gCO2/km and we will require even lower emissions as road transport becomes truly sustainable. The first LowCVP Technology Challenge is seeking innovative concepts that could make a significant contribution to this target.
Who can apply?
Any UK based organisation can submit their CO2 emission saving concept to the Technology Challenge.
What types of Innovation are eligible?
The Technology Challenge welcomes close to market concepts and technologies from all relevant disciplines. Entry criteria are that they:
• will reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and similar light goods vehicles;
• could be commercially deployed in 3–5 years;
• are on-vehicle, and;
• are compatible or could be easily integrated into the existing transport, energy and fuel infrastructures.
This could mean, as examples technologies in; advanced combustion; emissions cleanup; improved aerodynamics and flow control; new and advanced powertrains; energy recovery; lightweight materials and structures, and; design optimisation.
