Low-Carbon Cars: technologies and opportunities
10 July 2008, Institute of Physics
The Technology Strategy Board recently announced a £90 million government investment in the development of low-carbon vehicles and over the next decade there is predicted to be a huge increase in the number of low-carbon cars on the UK’s roads. The speakers will discuss the opportunities for physics-based companies in both the fast-growing low-carbon cars sector and in the broad range of technological developments, from fuel cells to sensors to aerodynamics, that underpin this growth.
