Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are essential for the Rare Earth Permanent Magnets (REPMs), which are required for e-motors and additional components. REE supply is volatile and can disrupt commercial ecosystems. The UK has limited natural REE resources but does boast successful industries reliant on REEs. The only realistic route for an insulated, sustainable...

The electric revolution is gathering pace. As more vehicles become electrified, greater volumes of batteries and battery materials are required. These batteries will eventually reach end of life and must be repurposed or recycled. Currently, the UK lacks the infrastructure to recycle the batteries and recover their materials, so vehicle manufacturers are ...

RaRE will establish an end to end supply chain for recycled rare-earth ancillary motors. Building on work completed at the University of Birmingham to devise a method to extract magnets from waste electronics the process will be scaled and the material re-processed back into new magnetic materials at pilot scale by Hypromag to demonstrate the quality of m...

"OCTOPUS builds on the success of previous Innovate UK project APEX. **Advanced Electric Motors Research** and **The Thinking Pod innovations** will focus optimising the integrated motor and power electronics 'drive' technology and further integrating with a new transmission and thermal management system to deliver the ultimate single unit e-axle solution...

To develop an innovative data mining process that will allow Bentley to exploit the value hidden in the data it owns and collects. To test the process they will use test cases on Customer Retention and Feature Optimisation, both bringing business benefit in terms of profit and growth.

"The car industry is set to undergo a fundamental change as the deployment of EVs is expected to continue to show double digit growth, with multiple new market entrants, encouraged further by clean air initiatives from 2025 to reinforce trends. Additionally, greater automation and the prospect of the driverless car is looming, where from 2020- 2030 onward...

"The project utilises high value alloyed titanium (Ti) swarf as a feedstock to sinter-forge via the new, novel technology FASTforge process into near net shapes for use in high strength and good fatigue life applications typically required within an automotive engine. 4 engine components of increasing complexity from both a manufacturing and performance p...

"APEX brings leading edge UK research in power electronics together with ultra-high speed, switched reluctance electric machine design and novel thermal management solutions, to deliver a breakthrough in electric drive systems suitable for high performance vehicles. The drive will be designed to exceed latest permanent magnet motor performance while remov...

The SkyBridge project brings together unique & innovative organisations of SME's, Universities & an automotive OEM to form a 5G Innovation Value Chain in a collaborative development of a network connectivity solution for passenger journeys & smart cities. This solution leverages a defence sector technology from Horsebridge which allows the user to benefit...

This project is concerned with the design, manufacture, test and validation of a high performance multi-material vehicle platform for automotive production volumes upto 5,000 per annum. The project partners Penso, Bentley and Solvay will be demonstrating design for manufacturing capability of a fully vertically integrated, UK based automotive supply chain...

The Flexible Lightweight Architecture for Volume Applications (FLAVA) project will enable the UK low/medium volume auto sector to implement & integrate carbon composite multi-material flexible modular solutions within Body in White structures. Materials & manufacturing process innovations resulting from the project offer substantial weight savings, enhanc...
