LowCVP rebrands as Zemo partnership

The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership has rebranded to become the Zemo Partnership to  reflect the fact that UK road transport emissions will have to be zero by 2050, and in acknowledgement that ‘low’ is now not enough when it comes to harmful emissions.

Zemo Partnership continues to be a not-for-profit, independent partnership, jointly funded by government and its members. It brings together government, industry, NGOs, experts and the widest range of key stakeholders at the highest levels, with a shared vision of accelerating transport to zero emissions.

Zemo Partnership shapes government policy, regulation and initiatives, influences business strategy and provides information and advice to those working to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and combat climate change through cleaner mobility.

Zemo Partnership’s Managing Director Andy Eastlake says: “For the past 18 years LowCVP has played a pivotal role in helping to deliver the UK’s low emission transport targets.

“In 2020, over 10% of all new cars sold were ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs), surpassing the target set out at the LowCVP’s inception in 2003.

“But today low is no longer enough and we must reset our targets, roll up our sleeves and focus on the road to zero."
