Funded Projects

Aimed at developing a next-generation Electric Drive Unit (EDU) 'toolkit' - a modular family of machines, inverters and transmissions for future JLR vehicles.

Developing a dual inverter for regenerative braking in BEVs, enabling new vehicle designs with EV specific, optimised electronics and safety systems.

Accelerating the development of a luxury BEV platform, enabling a route to net zero, including vehicle lightweighting, a digital toolchain, and electrification training.

Developing a net-zero, hydrogen-hybrid, integrated power system for off-highway applications.

Utilising an electric vehicle (EV) programme to build UK R&D capability while collaborating with UK partners on further enhancing EV 4R (refabricate, recycle, resell and reuse) potential.

Creating an innovative combined electric propulsion and handling system, which aims to revolutionise existing EV architectures.

Cultivating new design methodologies, processes and materials for reduced embodied carbon footprint in product designs.

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.

Led by ULEMCo, the project will develop and test net-zero carbon emission hydrogen fuel cell range extenders for electric drivetrains for use in a series of ‘world-first’ special purpose EV vehicle solutions, including; ambulances, fire engines and HGV road sweepers.
