Welcome to LowCVP HGV Technology Challenge Microsite
 Efficient road freight distribution is a foundation of successful economies, in the UK approaching three-quarters of goods are moved by road. However this service is not without impact and HGVs also account for around 5% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions. New technologies and products arise constantly thanks to UK ingenuity and automotive capability, however gaining traction with potential customers can be the single most challenging barrier to progress. On the other side – potential customers seek viable products to save them money and lower their carbon emissions; however the breadth of possible avenues to investigate and resources available limits horizon scanning activities. With the aim of accelerating the market introduction of new and innovative products and technologies LowCVP is providing this opportunity to emergent supply chain companies and technology developers, to promote themselves and add credibility to their carbon lower solutions. The LowCVP Technology Challenge aims to give new entrants to the supply chain the opportunity to present their innovations to a panel of potential major customers. | HGV Technology Challenge Sponsors  Winner 2009 Testimonials "As a winner of the Challenge, the opportunity to present to a room packed with potential customers was pretty unique and gave a real boost to awareness of CPT’s stop-start, engine-boosting and power regeneration technology; normally it would take months of effort to meet this number of decision makers.” Guy Morris, Engineering Director & CTO “Winning the LowCVP Technology Challenge raised awareness of our HCCI control technology not just at a national level but internationally, with interest being received from prospective customers and co-developers around the world.” David Tonery, Managing Director |
