The recent announcements of additional Government funding for low carbon vehicle innovation highlight the strategic importance assigned to low carbon vehicle investment in the UK. The relevance of the motor industry to the UK economy is widely recognised with over one million vehicles and two million engines produced in the UK annually; and with the motor industry employing over 700,000 people[1]and delivering around £12 billion in net value added to the economy[2]each year.
