Funded Projects

The 'Make-Like-Production' facility is a manufacturing research centre which provides the opportunity to investigate the feasibility and stability of new manufacturing processes comprehensively.

The technology developed from this project will aim to improve fuel consumption by 15 to 20 percent, in turn resulting in significant CO2 savings. Through this project, Cummins has increased its thermo-dynamic analysis software which will reduce development time for future projects.

This project will develop flywheel technology for use in buses to avoid wasting energy every time a bus stops. The system aims to deliver fuel savings of around 20 per cent, resulting in significant CO₂ savings.

This project has subsequently closed due to a change in scope.

This project will see the creation of a modern retro, authentic, best-in-class, electric-motorcycle that is unmistakably British.

This project will see the development of a new integrated e-Powertrain system for full electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, as well as series hybrid and plug-in hybrid configurations.

Building on previous projects funded by Innovate UK and APC, NextGen FCEV aims to develop single and double-deck fuel cell electric buses for the UK marketplace and export that are world-leading in terms of the total cost of ownership and efficiency.

BMW will develop a new UK supply chain for subcomponents and system capability for future electromobility. This technology drives Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) from niche to mainstream.

This project aims to decarbonise heavy duty powertrains by developing a highly efficient e-machine for energy recovery.

The Hi-VIBES project will develop a high voltage integrated battery power-electronics system to control future Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) traction batteries.
