Funded Projects

This collaborative project will establish three new UK manufacturing/technical centres capable of pilot volume manufacture and anchoring technologies for near-term hybridised ICE/BEV vehicles in the UK.

This funded project will focus on optimising the manufacturing process of a unique range of electric propulsion motors for electric vehicles and developing e-motor manufacturing capability at scale in the UK.

Jaguar Land Rover led a research project to investigate, and develop strategies and capability to convert internal combustion engine manufacturing facilities to also make electric drive units for hybrid and electric vehicles.

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.
