Our Spoke Community has created a national network that brings together specialist academic, technological and commercial expertise to share best practice for the development of low emission propulsion technologies.
Each Spoke is hosted by a leading UK university, globally-recognised in its field with several named in the top 100 universities in the world.
Our communities currently include over 600 organisations, over 60 key academic institutions and a range of OEMs, SMEs and supply chain companies – and continues to grow week-by-week.
The core activities of the Spokes are to encourage and nurture cross-sector collaboration to build UK electric vehicle research and development programmes which support supply chains at all levels from materials to system integration.
The Spoke’s Electrified Supply Chain Portal was launched to change the way OEMs collaborate with suppliers on alternatively-fuelled vehicle research projects. The networking site is free to use and is dedicated to the low carbon vehicle industry to build the UK’s electrified supply chain.
A report published by the Electrical Energy Storage Spoke, WMG, University of Warwick, on the 25/06/2018, explores the opportunities in the UK for battery manufacturing. It highlights key areas in which the UK is well positioned to take advantage of and drive battery innovation.
The Electrical Energy Storage Spoke, University of Warwick have just released a new video explaining how to safely deconstruct batteries, looking at coin cell, pouch call and cylindrical cell. It shows the work that they are carrying out at their latest innovative forensics laboratory, watch it to find out more.
