Ashwoods win LCVPP contract
Ashwoods were announced yesterday as the sole supplier of hybrid vans to the Low Carbon Vehicle Procurement Programme (LCVPP).
The LCVPP is a Department for Transport funded scheme to accelerate the take up of low carbon vans through public sector fleets throughout the UK.
The LCVPP will see Ashwoods Hybrid vans purchased by a selection of leading public sector fleets in the UK, including Royal Mail, Metropolitan Police, TFL, the Environment Agency and several Local Authorities. Cenex (Centre of Excellence for Low Carbon and Fuel Cell Technologies) will be managing the Programme with the DfT subsidising the additional cost to public sector organisations of purchasing the low carbon vehicles.
Ashwoods will be suppling hybrid vans in high volumes to the participants of the LCVPP. This will firmly establish the company as the leading supplier of hybrid vans and retro-fit hybrid systems in the UK.
