A company which specialises in optimising family of innovative, class leading CO2 reducing technologies for automotive applications has been shortlisted for a "prestigious" accolade.
Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) has been nominated for the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (LowCVP) Low Carbon Champion Awards, created by the LowCVP in order to recognise enterprises that have been successful in reducing carbon emissions from road transport.
The CPT has been named as a possible winner of the Innovation Award which is given to the business that has brought forward the most promising technology for reducing carbon emissions on motors.
CPT chief executive Nick Pascoe said the organisation was delighted to be shortlisted for the prize.
He added: "We have a fantastic team of highly motivated engineers working on new CO2 reducing technologies and this nomination gives me an excellent opportunity to thank them for their ingenuity and commitment."
The company has attempted to reduce emissions at the lowest possible cost by integrating its micro-hybrid technology with an engine-boosting and power regeneration concept, called RegEnBoost.
This should ensure a family-sized motor can produce less than 100 g/km of CO2 with a one-litre engine, according to the manufacturer, but manage to perform at the rate of a two-litre naturally aspirated powertrain.
And CPT will find out if it has been successful later today (July 14th) when the winners of the awards are announced in a ceremony held at the LowCVP Annual Conference.
Greg Archer, managing director of the LowCVP, said the prizes identify the companies that are speeding up the shift to low carbon motors.
He added: "The quality of the 50 plus entries was exceptional and demonstrates the vibrancy of UK businesses and organisations in striving to create new markets for lower carbon vehicles."
This news comes after HPI noted that environmentally-friendly motoring is not only good for the planet but it will also help out people financially in the long-term.
