Taking cues from the work of historic engineers, who overcame some of the great economic and environmental challenges of their age, Andrew will discuss how modern professional engineers can contribute to developing sustainable transport solutions.  This presentation will explore some aspects of sustainability for various modes of transport, not just from the most common greenhouse gas “tailpipe” perspective, but also looking at other factors such as energy & materials usage, contributions to air quality, economic effects and safety.



Andrew works as a technical consultant for the Zemo Partnership, a government-industry partnership, helping accelerate transport to zero emissions. He is involved in projects relating to both CO2 and pollutant emissions reduction, from a wide range of vehicle types.

Prior to joining Zemo in 2019, Andrew spent 33 years working for Ford Motor Company, in both technical and project management roles, mostly related to powertrains and their control systems, specialising in emissions reduction and improving fuel economy. This career included working in both Germany and the USA. Andrew’s final role with Ford was as department manager for development and calibration of small petrol engines, a role which included development of the multi award-winning Ecoboost engine series.

Andrew graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a first class honours degree in mechanical engineering, and subsequently completed an MBA at Henley Management College. Andrew has been a member of the IMechE since 1996 and became a Fellow in 2006.
