Nissan Motor Manufacturing (UK) Limited

To embed the knowledge and capabilities to identify and proceed with Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) customer-validated and customer-led innovative V2X (Vehicle-connected-to-everything) features.

Nissan are leading a consortium to both build UK capability for electric vehicle and battery development, whilst innovations within the wider supply chain aim to enhance the cost and value proposition of vehicles for European customers. Vehicle batteries represent a significant investment and cost with substantial in-use and residual value, which the proj...

NextAD project will advance the UK supply chain by applying Autonomous Drive System technologies within urban residential roads and rural roads as demand for service and commercialisation grows. By utilising Autonomous Vehicle functionality, we can deliver a safer and securer drive for its occupants, whilst offering a commercially viable platform. This wi...

The DCMS 5GCAL project (2020-22) delivered a working proof-of-concept demonstration of the autonomous and teleoperation of a 40-tonne truck at the Vantec-Nissan Manufacturing UK site, with live loads delivered from Vantec to NMUK autonomously without intervention by a safety driver. The successful outcomes of 5GCAL now needs to be taken into actual operat...

Project Butterfly brings together a consortium of UK high value and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) organisations working across sectors, along with solution providers and research organisations to share best practice and demonstrate the power of I4.0 to deliver near-term impact on the road to net zero manufacturing. The climate emergency is an importan...

The UK Government 10 point plan has committed the UK to banning the sale of petrol and diesel cars from 2030 and to achieve net zero emissions by 2035\. Delivery of these targets can only be achieved by significant customer uptake of electric vehicles (eV's). Mass-adoption of electric vehicles (eVs) is dependent, however on the development of affordable, ...

Public description Industrial Digital Technologies (IDT's) are disrupting industries across the globe. The breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and governance. There is overwhelming evidence that IDTs can provide a step change in industrial productivity(2). The Smart Connected Factory is...

"The ultimate aim of ServCity is to reduce private car journeys in urban areas by providing a reliable autonomous mobility service. By doing so, the consortium aims to solve urban challenges around congestion and emissions and, propose a blueprint for future Automated Mobility Services (AMS). This project demonstrates UK capabilities and technologies to a...

The High Torque eV Motor project (HiTEV) will deliver a high torque EV electrical machine and drive system. The current State-of-the-art Nissan Leaf machine is the benchmark by which the project deliverables will be judged, both technically and commercially. The advances made in this project will align with the European driving scene, including higher veh...

The global automotive industry continues to face significant challenges in meeting the future needs of the mobility sector, such as improved _fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, electrification of power train, autonomous driving and connectivity._ One of the biggest opportunities in rising to these challenges comes through the selection of _the right mate...

"The EB-Auto consortium is evaluating the material combination of basalt fibre combined with thermoplastic resin when processed using high rate processes for manufacturing of composite intermediate materials. It will establish the value proposition for this technology and a new offer for high rate affordable composites for the automotive sector. It has th...

"Our vision is to create a safe, economically sustainable battery recycling supply chain in the UK allowing industrial batteries from vehicles to be recycled into base components and materials, which are subsequently reused. Ultimately, we seek to demonstrate a scalable process that will lead to the UK being the primary battery recycling hub in Europe. Ou...
