Funded Projects

Project SOCA looks at decarbonising the manufacturing of composite components for automotive applications by combining innovative technology and materials.

Ionic Technologies has developed rare earth element separation and refining technology and is applying it to the recovery of rare earth metals from spent permanent magnets.

Oxford RF Solutions Ltd has designed a multidirectional radar sensor to enable all-weather autonomy.

3D-Li anode material and technology for next-generation lithium batteries for automotive and aerospace.

LiNa Energy's cobalt- and lithium-free solid-state sodium battery is an ideal solution for renewable energy storage systems.

Ilika is a pioneer in solid-state battery technology, enabling solutions for applications such as industrial IoT, MedTech, EV and consumer electronics.

Composite Evolution's net-zero bio-based composite materials for next-generation lightweight vehicle structures.

Enable Manufacturing’s Additive Casting® process combines the best of 3D printing and traditional casting, to manufacture complex metal parts, of any size, cost-effectively.

The project aims to develop a new world-leading, commercially competitive solution for zero-emission battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric, multi-axle (tri-axle and articulated bus) vehicle configurations.

Fuel cell Commercial Vehicle Generation 2.0 (FCVGen2.0) is a Ford-led research project that will pilot the introduction of fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles to the light commercial vehicle sector to advance UK capability for fuel cell development. It’s a follow-up to FCVGen1.0, an APC-funded Advanced Route to Market Demonstrator (ARMD) project.
