Cenex will be hosting its annual national low carbon vehicle event, LCV2015, in two weeks’ time.

LCV2015 will take place throughout September 9 and September 10 at Millbrook, and is expected to attract more than 2,500 visitors. Cenex has also promised a broad B2B focus for the event.

Highlights of the two-day event will include a speech from Anna Soubry, minister for small business,industry and enterprise, a sustainable vehicle technology conference taking place on September 10 and a workshop on the low carbon truck trial, run by Innovate UK, which will also take place on September 10.

Robert Evans, CEO of Cenex, said: “We look forward to welcoming delegates to LCV2015 next month.

“A lot of planning has gone into the LCV event to ensure it remains relevant and worthwhile to all those in the sector.

“Notable changes this year include a more diverse and comprehensive seminar programme including over 100 presenters across four parallel sessions.

“We have also extended the steering pad resulting in more vehicles available for a ride & drive experience; added a technology showcase in Hall 2 and also added a seminar presentation zone in Hall 2.”

At the show, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) will be offering UK companies the opportunity to meet with a delegation of international companies from a number of markets, with the purpose of encouraging business development discussions between the UK and LCV2015's overseas guests.

Joe Greenwell, CEO of UKTI’s automotive investment organisation, said:  “The UK has a globally recognised research and development environment for advanced propulsion and light weighting.

“Over £1 billion of industry and Government money is being invested in the Advanced Propulsion Centre to power the design and commercialisation of low-carbon engines and transmissions, while a further £900 million in subsidies and infrastructure is being provided for ultra-low emission vehicles.

“LCV2015 provides the ideal platform to showcase this expertise to the world.”
