Funded Projects

The project aims to develop a new world-leading, commercially competitive solution for zero-emission battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric, multi-axle (tri-axle and articulated bus) vehicle configurations.

Fuel cell Commercial Vehicle Generation 2.0 (FCVGen2.0) is a Ford-led research project that will pilot the introduction of fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles to the light commercial vehicle sector to advance UK capability for fuel cell development. It’s a follow-up to FCVGen1.0, an APC-funded Advanced Route to Market Demonstrator (ARMD) project.

Led by ULEMCo, the project will develop and test net-zero carbon emission hydrogen fuel cell range extenders for electric drivetrains for use in a series of ‘world-first’ special purpose EV vehicle solutions, including; ambulances, fire engines and HGV road sweepers.

The Hydrogen Electric Integrated Drivetrain Initiative (HEIDI) project will design, develop and integrate a hydrogen fuel cell into a double-decker bus demonstrator, using innovative, low-cost fuel cell technology developed in the UK.

The Zero Emissions Truck Testing Automation (ZETTA) project will see Leyland develop innovations in automation and advanced testing to increase productivity and scale up the production of Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) trucks.

During Project Cavendish, BorgWarner and partners will develop novel combustion components, software and controls to allow the rapid redevelopment of existing heavy-duty truck engines to work on hydrogen fuel.

The EleVAIT project will enable a set of world-class industry and academic partners to develop key inverter concepts and technologies that will enhance the attributes of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) electrified vehicles from 2028.

The ATLAS project will facilitate the launch of the world’s first liquid fugitive methane-powered off-highway agricultural tractor – built in the UK.

This project aims to further develop a novel ground-up Fuel Cell Electric Heavy Goods Tractor Unit to replace existing diesel vehicles in the UK and Europe.

Project PIMMS will enable Electrified Automation to further develop its innovative process for manufacturing electric motors that are more cost-competitive, powerful and efficient than many of the products currently available in the marketplace.
