Insight Reports

This report takes a closer look at the role hydrogen has to play in meeting the automotive sector's short-term decarbonisation goals for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) and off-highway applications.

This report assesses the industry challenges and innovation opportunities for electrical energy storage (EES) over the coming years, and offers an in-depth review of all the themes and sub-themes identified in the Roadmaps and aligns them with UK automotive supply chain capabilities.

The UK’s automotive software market is projected to grow to £2.04 billion by 2028, requiring a ‘software-first’ approach and strategic integration to stay competitive.

The LFP (lithium iron phosphate) Insight Report details how LFP battery chemistry can increase affordability and compete with nickel-rich cathodes in the UK and European EV market.

The “UK HDV supply chain opportunities to 2035” Insight report details how decarbonisation and a drive towards net zero in the Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) sector could help to realise an estimated £2.4 billion growth opportunity for the UK.

This report provides insights into how the automotive sector needs to transition its product lifecycle thinking if the industry is going to deliver on its net-zero targets.

This report takes an in-depth look into the use of the future of batteries and fuel cells for large premium SUVs and vans, with the aim of establishing which technology is more likely to prevail based on installed cost and mileage potential by 2030.

Our latest report - 2025 and beyond: Promising battery cell innovations for the UK automotive sector - provides a qualitative assessment of the UK’s existing capability in automotive battery developments that have the highest potential of being commercialised globally in the next 3+ years.

This report offers a like-for-like $/kWh comparison of fuel cells and battery powertrains, and explores the cost reduction potential of a light-duty hydrogen fuel cell system.

Recovering battery materials is critical to making new batteries and can be produced at a lower carbon footprint than mined materials.
