Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London
Overview
The world is on the cusp of a
profound change in how we move people, goods and services around our towns,
cities and countryside. The change is being driven by concerns around air
pollution, climate change and must respond to increasing urbanisation,
automation and connectivity. The solutions will see extraordinary innovation in
engineering, technology and business models. On our roads, the question has
changed from will future road vehicles be electric, to when. This transition
presents significant challenges for the UK, but will deliver significant benefits.
By leading the global race to zero emissions we can unlock huge future global
opportunities for UK.

Bob Moran: Deputy Head, Office of Low Emission Vehicles, UK
Bob works with the UK’s Office for Low Emission
Vehicles (OLEV), a cross Government policy unit working to position the UK as a
global leader in the design, development, manufacture and deployment of zero
emission vehicles and associated technologies.
OLEV comprises people from the Department for
Transport and Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to
simplify policy development and speed up delivery of this important shared
agenda.
By supporting the early market for electric and
other zero emission vehicles, OLEV aims to secure the greatest possible
industrial benefits for the UK from the inevitable transition to zero emission
vehicles, decarbonise the UK’s vehicle fleet by 2050 and in doing so improve
air quality and energy security. OLEV leads UK policy on regulations and
standards that set road vehicle CO2 emissions performance targets
for manufacturers.
Bob joined OLEV in 2011
having previously worked with the Department for Transport and Ford Motor
Company. He was awarded a Ph.D. in
Biomechanical Engineering from Edinburgh University in 2002 having graduated
from there with an Honours degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1997. Bob is an
Associate Member of the IMechE.
