Chris Cox

Ever since training as an engineer I have been driven to understand how technology can be used to make the world a better place. After more than a decade working on research and innovation projects in the energy industry, I joined Cenex (Centre of Excellence for Low Carbon & Fuel Cell Technologies) in 2018 to lead their activities relating to energy and infrastructure for transport. During my time here, I have been responsible for leading a wide range of research programmes looking at Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), wireless EV charging and smart cities, as well as setting up a team to support organisations across the world with developing their EV infrastructure strategies.

As a certified project manager, chartered engineer, and member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) it is important to me to do things to the highest standard and quality. Working at Cenex allows me bring together these aspects of technical innovation, quality and making a tangible contribution to improving the world we live in – now and for future generations.

Currently, my work at Cenex includes identifying new areas for research, and working to transfer our knowledge and experience from road transport to harder to decarbonise sectors, such as marine, agriculture and construction. On top of this, I am leading our work developing digital insight tools, and expanding our industry training programmes – including the release of introductory handbooks on key technologies and topics related to decarbonising transport.

So, if you want to explore how a technology or innovation could help you reduce your transport emissions, I cant imagine a better place for you to start than with Cenex (www.cenex.co.uk).
