LowCVP says UK automotive sector revitalized by carbon reduction policy

In the UK, a new report from the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership shows the UK automotive sector has been revitalized by consistently applied policy centered on cutting carbon. Carried out for LowCVP by E4tech and the Centre for Automotive Industry Research at Cardiff Business School, the study was conducted between March and June 2014.

The broad industry survey, supplemented by in depth interviews with senior executives showed that a consistent and sustained policy approach can produce both ‘green’ results and growth. The link between consistently applied policy and a ‘win-win’ in terms of investment and emissions performance was validated by the survey involving over 120 senior industry and stakeholder respondents.
