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.

This project developed a semi-automated pilot production line and facility for advanced lightweight composites assembly to build on the UK’s expertise in lightweighting technology.

This project focused on the validation of the Hot Form Quench manufacturing process, which produces high-strength aluminium pressings, with reduced weight and simpler, stronger structures for vehicle bodies.

Project Chamaeleon enables the UK to deliver high volume, lightweight materials, reducing weight and improving vehicle rigidity. As well as reducing emissions, the project has embed new skills into the UK's supply chain.

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.
