Introduction to the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership & Cenex Low Emission Van Guide.
Why Choose a Low Emission Van?
The right low emission van saves you money, reduces your environmental impact and helps you win new business.
Better for business
Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from vehicles normally means you are also spending less money on fuel.
Low emission vans also help demonstrate environmental commitment and enhance your organisation's image. Corporate social responsibility is more important than ever, while your organisation's reputation, in the eyes of the public, customers, suppliers and industry bodies, has never been under greater scrutiny.
Transport for London and many local authorities include performance standards for low emission vans within their contract tendering process. Organisations across the UK are following their lead. By operating a low emission van, you will be a step ahead of other bidders. Consumer surveys are pointing in the same direction; people expect governments and businesses to be more ambitious about shifting to low and zero emission vehicles.
Better for air quality and health
Poor air quality is estimated to contribute to up to 36,000 premature deaths a year in the UK. Many UK cities are developing measures to reduce emissions from vehicles. In London, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) was launched in April 2019. Diesel vans operating in the zone must meet Euro 6 emissions standards or pay a daily charge. Euro 6 is the latest standard introduced to regulate the level of pollutants released from the tailpipes of light vehicle engines. Euro 6 aims to reduce the levels of harmful emissions including NOx, carbon monoxide and particulate matter (PM).
Other UK cities are introducing measures to improve air quality. Birmingham and Leeds plan to introduce Clean Air Zones (CAZ) by 2020, with the former confirmed to include vans. Many more cities are actively exploring options to improve air quality. As the case studies in this guide show, many companies and organisations are already saving money from operating low emission vehicles. Improved vehicle availability and choice – together with the introduction of CAZs – is further strengthening the case for acquiring cleaner vehicles. By changing to a low emission van, you may help improve your own health outcomes and will help improve the wellbeing of others.
We must all take steps to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (most notably CO2). The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1°C since the late 19th century, driven largely by human-made GHG emissions. Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years and the 20 warmest years on record have all been in the past 22 years. The impacts of long-term global warming are already being felt, for example in sea level rise and coastal flooding, heatwaves, intense precipitation, and ecosystem change. Scientists are clear that to avoid catastrophic changes to human society over the next few decades, we have to stop burning fossil fuels by the end of the 2020s, and preferably sooner. Transport is the largest source of GHG emissions in the UK, so we don't have time to lose, we urgently need to switch to using low emission vehicles.
The UK Government has introduced various measures and incentives to encourage low emission vehicle uptake as part of its 2018 Road to Zero strategy. These are set out in the Grants and Incentives section of this guide. Additional measures may include bringing van Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) in line with the CO2-emissions based bands used for car VED5. Government has also set an ambition to end the sale of conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2040.
Better for everyone
Procedures for testing and reporting vans' fuel and emissions performance are improving. The Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) is a new global regulation for measuring pollutant and CO2 emissions and energy consumption in light duty vehicles. It replaces the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) that was used for over 20 years. WLTP uses improved dynamic and robust test procedures, and better reflects real-world driving conditions. It produces results more in keeping with real-world values, improving business and consumer confidence in fuel economy, emissions and electric range values for new vehicles.
WLTP is mandatory for all new cars and car-derived vans from September 2018, and for all new vans from September 2019. Vehicles' actual performance is not affected by the transition to WLTP. However, WLTP will result in a higher g/km CO2 value for a specific vehicle compared to NEDC because it is more rigorous and more realistic. New vans will also be subject to a more stringent compliance regime, known as Real Driving Emissions (RDE). This is an on-road test of pollutant emissions. RDE complements the WLTP laboratory test, ensuring vehicles deliver low emissions over a wide range of driving environments.
Technologies for low emission vans
There are plenty of misconceptions about alternatively fuelled vehicles, but trustworthy information from reliable, independent sources makes it easier for you to find the best solution for your business. That's why we've put together this guide. The following page explains the factors to consider when choosing a low emission van or technology, in three categories: operational, financial and environmental. The majority of the guide consists of topic sheets on different fuels and technologies, showing how each performs against these criteria. The topic sheets explain vehicle availability and deployment options and include an example whole life cost (WLC) calculation and case study.

Wölfersheim is a municipality in the Wetteraukreis in Hessen, Germany. It is located approximately 34 kilometers north of Frankfurt am Main.

Division of the municipality
The municipality consists of 5 districts:
 Wölfersheim
 Södel
 Melbach
 Berstadt
 Wohnbach

Holocaust
There was a small Jewish community in Wölfersheim since at least 1700. On Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass, the Jews of the town were brutally attacked by thugs. Their legal documents were destroyed and some were sent to the concentration camps where they were murdered by the Nazis. The Jewish cemetery still stands today though there are no Jews left in the town.

3rd edition of Open House Milano.
Over a hundred of Milan's trail-blazing modern buildings or historically fascinating sites will throw open their doors on the weekend of 5 and 6 May for the third edition of Open House Milano.
More than 300 trained volunteers will be on hand to show off the secrets of Milan's architectural treasures, which attracted over 20,000 guests to last year's edition.
Historic buildings exceptionally open to the public will include Palazzo Clerici, Palazzo Moriggia, Palazzo Castiglioni, the Biblioteca Sormani, the air-raid shelter in Piazza Grandi, and the Studio Museo Francesco Messina. The former Angela Gavazzi factory, Officine del Volo, Megawatt Court, W37, Watt 10, Base and the former Stabilimento Lagomarsino are among the examples of urban regeneration which have set a trend.
Top-rated sacred architecture which has won praise for Milan's cityscape includes Arrigo Arrighetti's S. Giovanni Bono, Giò Ponti's S. Luca Evangelista di Giò Ponti, Ignazio Gardella's S. Nicolao della Flue, as well as the Al Wahide mosque and the Beth Shlomo synagogue.
The full programme of Open House Milano 2018 is available on the event website. Each photographic tile opens to a detailed description of the building, with day and times of opening to the public.
"Open House" is a simple but powerful concept: showcasing outstanding architecture for all to experience, completely free. Open House initiatives invite everyone to explore and debate the value of a well-designed built environment. Launched in London in 1992, Open House Worldwide is now shared by 41 cities across the world.


Refinement No Other Bike Can Touch. With experience comes wisdom. Sure, fluorescent-colored breakfast cereal might be fun when you're a kid, but as you learn more, you start eating smarter. Same with your motorcycles. Loud, flashy bikes that try to grab your attention with outrageous styling, but do not turn or stop well? Seating positions that would give a chiropractor nightmares? Pass. The experienced rider looks for a machine that works with him or her. That offers plenty of performance, that's comfortable to ride—even at a brisk pace. For generations, that's meant Honda's Interceptor, a bike that performs as well in the curves as it does on the open road. The Interceptor's 782 cc V-4 VTEC engine with fuel-injection mapping for better low-end torque feel. It includes adjustable seat height to better fit a range of riders, front-mount radiator for a slimmer profile, radial-mount front brakes, and all-side muffler, wheels and Pro-Arm swingarm.
The Interceptor's seat adjusts from 31.8 inches to 31.0 inches to help custom-tailor the cockpit to a wider range of riders.
Unfamiliar roads, uneven road surfaces and compromised traction—anti-lock brakes are a great complement to the Interceptor's triple-disc brake system (Deluxe Model).
Servicing your bike and parking it level—especially with saddlebags—is a snap with this great Interceptor feature (Deluxe Model).
Always a technology showcase, the Interceptor's engine uses digital fuel injection that is specially mapped to work with the VTEC engine two-valve/four-valve operation to increase both low-end torque and high-RPM horsepower.
The Interceptor's instruments include a digital speedometer, analog tachometer, gear-position indicator, miles-per-gallon readout, ambient air temperature gauge and a clock.
By moving the radiators from the fairing sides to in front of the engine, we've slimmed down the bike's middle cowl area, giving it a more sleek style and reducing the width.
Cold mornings and cold gloves? Just dial up the Interceptor's grip heaters and your hands will be happy (Deluxe Model).
Clear, crisp, compact and bright: the latest LED technology lets the Interceptor's headlight and unique accent lights do more than just light up the night—it gives the bike a strong styling element. The tail light and turn signals are also brilliant, long-lasting LEDs.
Bright, clear and long lasting, an LED tail light is the way to go with a bike as modern as the Interceptor.
The Interceptor uses radial-mounted monobloc front-brake calipers. This construction makes the caliper stiffer, and that means you get better brake feel for more linear, powerful stopping.
When you share the road, you always want other riders and drivers to know what your intentions are. So it can be unsettling when you realize you left your turn signal blinking long after the turn. The Interceptor is equipped with turn signals that automatically turn off after they detect that you've completed a turn (Deluxe Model).
Honda's Pro Arm single-sided swingarm is a proven design, and the Interceptor's swingarm is lighter and mounts the chain and brake disc on one side for easier wheel servicing and tire changes. It looks better too!
Streamlined and compact, the muffler offers a significant weight reduction from previous designs.
Available on the Interceptor Deluxe, traction control pairs with our Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) to give you more confident riding under challenging conditions.
The foundation for the Interceptor's stellar, tack-sharp handling, the twin-spar all-aluminum design is light and strong.
An Interceptor hallmark since the beginning, the V-4 in our latest model does what Honda V-4s have always done best: provide tons of low-end torque with plenty of high-revving power.
Running on two valves per cylinder at low RPM and four valves per cylinder at higher engine speeds, the Interceptor has tons of torque down low and plenty of horsepower up top—it's like having two engines in one.
37 MPG - Honda's fuel economy estimates are based on EPA exhaust emission measurement test procedures and are intended for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you ride, how you maintain your vehicle, weather, road conditions, tire pressure, installation of accessories, cargo, rider and passenger weight, and other factors.
