Robert Evans, CEO of Cenex, said: “A lot of planning has gone into the LCV event to ensure it remains relevant and worthwhile to all those in the sector. Notable changes this year include a more diverse and comprehensive seminar programme including over 100 presenters across four parallel sessions. We have also extended the steering pad resulting in more vehicles available for a ride & drive experience; added a technology showcase in Hall 2 and also added a seminar presentation zone in Hall 2. We hope that LCV2015 will be your best yet!”
On the evening of 9 September, a networking dinner and LowCVP Low Carbon Champions Awards event will take place.
