The Low Carbon Vehicle Public Procurement Programme (LCVPPP) which ran from 2008
to 2013 was one of the largest trials of electric and hybrid commercial vehicles carried
out in the UK to date. Funded by the Department for Transport’s (DfT) Office for Low
Emission Vehicles (OLEV), and managed by Cenex, LCVPPP placed 700 hybrid and
electric panel vans from four different manufacturers within 77 public sector fleets.
