Li-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EV's) are vulnerable to Thermal Runaway (TR): where a cell heats in an uncontrolled manner and causes overheating in the rest of the module or pack. The spread of TR can be prevented with an effective **anti-thermal propagation (ATP)** TR barrier: a thin, lightweight layer of super-insulating material. The project p...

The project targets difficult-to-decarbonize off-highway machines (\>1MWhr/day) that require maximum uptime in remote locations, where alternative powertrains are challenging. The project will: * Develop new fuel injection systems for alcohol-based fuels, enhance hydrogen compressor technology to enable mobile hydrogen filling. * Use physical testing and ...

Hydrogen fuel cell propulsion is key in supporting UK Net Zero transport policies, as demonstrated by the Automotive Council roadmaps. Fuel-cell Commercial Vehicle Generation 2.0 (FCVGen2.0) is a Ford-led industrial research project that pilots the introduction of Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FCHEV) to the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) sector, aim...

**Industry challenge** Decarbonisation of heavy-duty vehicles is challenging due to demands on powertrain cost-performance, operational availability, design life and reliability, which are yet to be wholly met by any existing low carbon powertrain approach, such as fuel cells, battery electric or hybrid architectures. Heavy-duty applications are much more...

In the drive to Net Zero the use of Hydrogen can play an important role in future UK transport. Whilst the majority of work looking at using hydrogen as a fuel for vehicles has been focused on fuel cell there is the potential to use hydrogen as fuel within a conventional internal combustion engine as a means of ensuring rapid market penetration of a ZEV i...

The DYNAMO project is a Ford led collaborative research and development project that aims to significantly improve the fuel efficiency of two high volume passenger vehicle powertrains. The research will be conducted with six other UK based partners, who will help develop and mature new and upgraded advanced engine technology ready for commercialisation. D...

An innovative research project led by Jaguar Land Rover, HyPACE (Hybrid Petrol Advanced Combustion Engine) will investigate new petrol engine technologies. The collaboration will integrate UK expertise from JLR (Combustion and Development), Borg Warner UK (Advanced Boosting Systems), Johnson Matthey UK (Emissions Control Technology), Cambustion (Emissions...

The ACTIVE project is a collaborative R&D project that accelerates the introduction of advanced low carbon technologies into main stream vehicle applications targeting very substantial CO2 savings. This is a UK centred project focused on the Engineering skills needed to develop and apply these technologies and aims at increasing the UK's capabilities in t...

CREO aims to improve and re-optimise the engine and after-treatment as a complete system, meeting legislative, customer and business requirements while minimising CO2 levels. This will be achieved through the use of novel after-treatment techniques, the on-board generation and use of hydrogen and the development and application of new optimisation tools.
