Cenex celebrates 10 years of work in the low carbon vehicle industry

Cenex – the UK’s first Centre of Excellence for low carbon technologies – is pleased to be celebrating ‘10 years of excellence’ in the low carbon vehicle sector. Established in 2005 as the UK’s first Centre of Excellence for Low Carbon and Fuel Cell technologies, Cenex operates as an independent not-for-profit consultancy and specialises in the delivery of projects which support innovation and market development to accelerate the shift to a low carbon economy. To commemorate its milestone, Cenex has unveiled its Top 10 Reports, infographic at its annual Low Carbon Vehicle Event, Cenex-LCV2015.

Cenex has focused the last 10 years on technology demonstrations and research to advance knowledge about the technical and commercial viability of low carbon vehicles in business operations. This has included supporting some of the largest UK vehicle trials to date and more recently fuel cell vehicles at a European level.

Key actions include: helping to install 1000+ charge points with local authorities and businesses; monitoring 1,500+ low carbon vehicles for fleets and government organisations; deploying £20 million+ of government funding and working on 20+ research projects and collaborations with universities, testing houses, product developers, global cities and fleets.

“Since 2005 we have been operating at the leading edge of market transformation,” says Brendan Connor, chairman of Cenex. “We have collaborated with industry, government and universities to help establish technology demonstrations, measure performance and validate the business case for low carbon vehicle technologies. In all activities we strive to deliver projects that will bring forward the new generation of low carbon vehicles.”
