The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, established in 2003, is a public-private partnership that exists to accelerate
a sustainable shift to lower carbon vehicles and fuels and create opportunities for UK businesses. Nearly 200
organisations are engaged from diverse backgrounds including automotive and fuel supply chains, vehicle users,
academics, environment groups and others. The LowCVP facilitated the voluntary introduction in 2005 of the
UK’s colour-coded fuel economy label, now widely used in new and used car showrooms. The LowCVP is
active in policy discussions focusing on consumer information as a means of lowering the barriers to cleaner
vehicle uptake.
