REA launches ULEV sector group

The Renewable Energy Association (REA) has launched its Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) Sector Group, to support the growth of electric vehicle industry in UK.

The ULEV Sector Group will represent members across the transport, energy and technology sectors who are working to deliver a sustainable transition to low-emission vehicles. The strategy aligns with the government’s target to make every new vehicle ULEV by 2040.

The group will work with the REA and solar groups to complement the undergoing presence of their work with industry and government stakeholders. It will secure the long-term regulatory environment for new and emerging technologies and work towards delivering a sustainable energy supply to fuel them.

Grant Pearson, Chairman of the Renewable Transport Group, said: “The establishment of the ULEV Sector Group builds on the exemplary work of the Renewable Transport Group. It also recognises that new and emerging low-emission vehicle technologies must be fuelled from renewable energy sources if the mass transition to ULEVs is to be sustainable. The work of the group will be taken forward by the REA’s new Head of Electric Vehicles, Tanya Sinclair, who brings a wealth of expertise to this area.”
 
Tanya Sinclair, head of Electric Vehicles at the REA, said: “I am very excited by this new opportunity and I look forward to working with a broad coalition of REA members to deliver this vision.”
