The prestigious LowCVP Low Carbon Champions Awards celebrate examples of outstanding and innovative practice across all areas in accelerating the shift to lower carbon vehicles and fuels and reducing road transport emissions.
Energy 2017 is the largest event of its kind in the UK. It will include information and guidance on low carbon vehicles and the business opportunities they can offer. The three-day show will bring together energy suppliers and managers, manufacturers, developers, consultants, distributors, engineers, architects, FM professionals and end-users, offering them an ideal platform to find out about the latest energy-based trends and uncover innovative new products and solutions.
The exponential growth of the low carbon vehicles and fuels sector is transforming the transport industry and will also have a profound impact on the built sector, particularly as demand for home-charged electric vehicles grows. Energy 2017 will be the perfect place to discover more about the growing interactions between buildings, energy and transport and to learn about future sustainable mobility options.
LowCVP recently opened the call for nominations to the 2017 Low Carbon Champions Awards. The deadline for full submissions is Friday 16 June and entries are welcomed from both members and non-members of the Partnership.
“The LowCVP welcomes the collaboration with Media 10 in hosting this year’s Champions Awards” said Andy Eastlake, the LowCVP’s Managing Director. “The association with Energy 2017, combining stakeholders in both events – and the wider Construction Week event, of which Energy 2017 is a part - will give excellent exposure for entrants (especially, Award winners!) sponsors and other participants. The Champions Awards are now in their seventh year and we are looking forward to hosting this exciting celebration in the midlands for the first time this October.”
Nathan Garnett, Event Director for Energy 2017, added that the shift towards low carbon vehicles continues to gather pace and it’s vital that those industry pioneers who have shown outstanding levels of dedication in helping to reduce road transport emissions are identified and rewarded.
The gala dinner will be held at the Concourse Suites 1 & 2, NEC, Birmingham on the evening of Wednesday October 11.
Any organisation or initiative that has made a contribution to the low carbon vehicle or fuels agenda in road transport is eligible to enter the Champions. There is no cost to enter the awards and finalists will receive a complimentary invitation to the celebration dinner.
