Funded Projects

This project sought to characterise a new material technology that could not only act as a filter media in air cabin filtration systems, but also in vehicle after treatment exhaust systems.

The project will take a major step with disruptive high strength aluminium alloys, and processing and joining technologies, enabling new enclosure design concepts for the manufacture of both vehicle integration structures and battery enclosures.

This research project aims to develop a hybrid material structural engineering tool to promote lightweight design and verification for product development processes.

This project aims to develop stiffer and lighter body structures, through the research and development of composite materials, to enable mainstream electrification of common vehicle platforms.

Find out how Intelligent Energy, Suzuki and more came together to develop novel hydrogen fuel cell scooters, which are being trialled by the Metropolitan Police.

This project developed a high-power lithium ion storage device to improve power-to-weight ratio in current hybrid lithium ion batteries.

This project takes an integrated full lifecycle approach to remove constraints on capacity, energy density and thermal management of EV batteries at a module and system level. The novel pilot facility will anchor unique UK capability in module and system-level R&D.

Through its APC project with Nissan, UK SME, Hyperdrive has become the first company to get access to Nissan’s high-energy density EV battery cells. This has opened up markets in electric vehicle and static energy storage battery packs.

This project saw the development and manufacturing of a plug-in hybrid electric Ford Transit Custom Van, including trials with the Metropolitan Police & British Gas.

This project is targeting a step change in cost and readiness for flexible series production of high-performance electric vehicle batteries, through the creation of a robust framework to drive cost reductions, from component to full-system, across the supply chain.
