Funded Projects

Project Dynamo brings sizeable fuel savings through upgrades to two passenger vehicle powertrains which benefit around 1.4 million engines per year.

This project will increase the speed of the transition to zero emission buses that meet both the technical and commercial needs.

This project will develop and demonstrate an innovative, multi-platform automated battery charging process that will improve the efficiency and the competitiveness of the NMNUK factory. Between the work of Nissan and Newcastle University, there will be an improvement of safety, quality and efficiency in a large fast-flowing production line.

The project delivers low costs and efficient manufacturing solutions for a key component of electric motors that are not available for niche, start up or low volume manufacturers.

This project will develop highly efficient, power dense electric vehicle technology which are well suited to sports cars, light commercial vehicles, buses and trucks, which are operated with dynamic duty cycles and therefore require high power electrification.

This project will produce a Ford Transit FCEV demonstrator, incorporating state-of-the-art digital engineering tools to simulate and optimise vehicle systems; including sensitivity studies through the implementation of multiple energy systems.

This project fundamentally addresses the energy management challenge created by the presence of multiple energy source, and will optimise propulsion systems through prediction and machine learning.

This project will create predictive software to provide powerful insights into where battery degradation might occur and enable an accurate prediction of future battery life and performance.

In regions of the world where a personal vehicle may be widely unaffordable, this project seeks to create accessibility through a transport-as-a-service ecosystem enabled by a digital platform.

Project LEVA is targeting the acceleration of and innovation behind new lightweight structures for next-generation net-zero emissions vehicles.
