The Clean Vehicle Retrofit Accreditation Scheme

Project Summary

Funded directly by DEFRA and the Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU), we’re providing ongoing support for this invaluable scheme that gives operators and local authorities a clear understanding of the retrofit technologies available to achieve CAZ standards. Together with Energy Saving Trust, we’re working closely with suppliers and users to continually develop, review and improve the  CVRAS scheme, ensuring it remains relevant and highly effective.
