The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (LowCVP) has published a shortlist of nominees for the 2015 Low Carbon Champions Awards.

The shortlisted organisations and projects reflect the UK’s continued progressive thinking in the area of low carbon transport, said LowCVP.

The awards, now in their fifth year, will be presented at the networking and awards dinner in Milton Keynes, in collaboration with the not-for-profit low carbon consultancy, Cenex. The event will take place on September, 9. Wednesday.

The awards celebrate outstanding and innovative practice in the UK, in accelerating the shift to lower carbon vehicles and fuels: as well as reducing road transport emissions.

The LowCVP Low Carbon Champions Awards have received accreditation by the Royal Society of the Arts (RSA), enabling category winners to go forward to the European Business Awards for the Environment (EBAE).

The awards encompass nine award catagories with an array of entrants including vehicle manufactuers, city coucils and SMEs.

LowCVP managing director Andy Eastlake said: “The record number of entries, as well as their quality and diversity,again show how the UK’s vibrant low carbon vehicle and fuel sector is leading innovation in clean transport."
