Funded Projects

The funded project will develop and manufacture a scalable and cost-effective approach for the assembly technology of REEcorners™ for use in in electric and autonomous vehicles such as e-LCVs and Mobility-as-a-Service Applications.

Cummins is leading a consortium of ICE sub-system suppliers in a collaborative funded project set to increase UK self-reliance in the emerging hydrogen economy.

This project aims to develop an ultra-fast charging battery and pack for electric and fuel cell hybrid vehicles to address consumer concerns over charge time.

The ShapeTex project is developing a new production process which allows existing carbon composite materials to be used in new applications which previously haven’t been possible.

The Intelligent Power Generation project will develop a high-efficiency gas-fired micro-turbine - achieving a 50% fuel saving for the same energy output.

This project will see the development of a high power hybrid transmission system that is three-times smaller and five-times lighter than an equivalent capacity V8 engine.

This project saw the development of a novel transmission system 13 Infinitely Variable Transmission which combines functions of gearbox, clutch and more, allowing for a massive reduction in components.

This project will develop innovative design and assembly techniques for mixed material lightweight structures and aims to reduce vehicle weight, plus increase adoption of recyclable and sustainable materials.

This project is addressing the problem of battery ageing and degradation in large battery applications, by reducing the battery size and weight to help with packaging and range issues in EVs.

This project aims to improve overall EV battery life by maintaining a constant temperature across the entire pack.
