The ULEV Experience has been a business and public sector support programme dedicated to helping Nottingham-based organisations to understand, trial and implement ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs), and has been supported by Nottingham City Council’s Go Ultra Low City funding. The programme has been delivered by a consortium led by Cenex, with partners from DriveElectric, Energy Saving Trust, RideWise, CleanTech Business and Automotive Comms.

Nottingham City Council (NCC) was awarded funding from various sources, including Go Ultra Low, to deliver low emission, low carbon, and sustainable travel measures to private and public sector organisations.

As such, the Council created the Workplace Travel Service (WTS), which offers grants and advice to public, private, and voluntary sector organisations, encouraging them to adopt low carbon and sustainable transport alternatives within their business practices and for their employees.

The consortium enabled a ‘one-stop-shop’ of skills and expertise required to deliver the comprehensive programme of activities required by the WTS.

Cenex provided a single point of contact for the management, delivery, and reporting of all required programme activities. This approach ensured that efficiencies and accurate messaging could be achieved across all project activities.  The consortium focused on creating and delivering a bespoke series of activities aimed at engaging with local businesses, split across Fleet Reviews, Electric Vehicle (EV) Loans, and Business Engagement Events.
