Zemo's new Executive Director, Claire Haigh, discusses what's next for Zemo Partnership, under her leadership

It’s a new year and a new start for Zemo. After more than a decade at the helm of what was the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, Andy Eastlake stepped down last Christmas.

Some of you may have attended Zemo’s 20th anniversary conference at City Hall on a hot, sunny day last summer where we were able to celebrate the Partnership’s successes and achievements of the last two decades, many of them under Andy’s committed leadership.

Zemo Partnership's Andy Eastlake reflects on the organisation's 20th Anniversary Conference, which took place on Clean Air Day, 15th June

20 to Zero; no not a brake test for cargo bikes, but Zemo’s view on progress to zero emission transport. After our first 20 years, it was great to see a packed house for Zemo’s 20th Anniversary Conference on 15th July. We had some excellent speakers in a sparkling venue on a sparkling June day.

Time seems to march on ever faster, but a significant anniversary has given me cause to reflect (if not really time to pause!).

This year our partnership – formerly LowCVP, now Zemo – has been around for twenty years.

Zemo Partnership's Andy Eastlake discusses what the new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero means for transport decarbonisation

As I write, news is breaking of the Prime Minister’s reorganisation of the Government department formerly known as BEIS. I know some will welcome this as they never quite worked out how to pronounce the acronym, but with the new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, I think I’ll wait for an official steer rather than speculating on ‘DESNZ’.

Angela123 Tue, 12/13/2022 - 14:22

Zemo Partnership's Andy Eastlake takes on the chargepoint debate - and concludes that it’s not just how many there are, but what they can do, that matters

Rarely a day goes by without some representative of the automotive media calling for the urgent construction of more EV recharging infrastructure, often suggesting that the insufficiency of chargepoints is – or will be - holding back vehicle uptake.

Zemo Partnership's Andy Eastlake considers how much operational and behavioural innovation will play a part in the UK's decarbonisation target

The electric transition is well under way (for cars and – almost - vans, at least) and is obviously a key part of what we need to do to meet our ultimate 2050 target for decarbonisation.
