QUATTRO Plant Ltd, alongside iNetic and EV Parts, has won the 2025 Nick Carpenter Innovation Award at Cenex Expo for their ‘game-changing’ battery-electric conversion of a four-wheel drive MEWP off-highway construction vehicle.

The NVN Nick Carpenter Innovation Award was created in memory of pioneering technical director and co-founder of Delta Motorsport, Nick Carpenter, a key figure within the EV industry and NVN advocate. It celebrates the visionaries behind the latest cutting-edge niche vehicle design and sustainable technology.

With one tonne of CO₂ saved per vehicle, per year, Quattro described the firm’s MEWP innovation as ‘yet another innovative approach on Quattro’s pathway to net zero’.

MD John Murphy said, “I’m delighted to receive the Nick Carpenter award for innovation on behalf of our team at Quattro Plant and our consortium partners, iNetic and EV Parts. The funding offered by the Niche Vehicle Network has been invaluable. The collaboration will go beyond the scope of the project as we look to implement the system into future vehicles. This is our road to net zero.”
