Equipmake Limited

The ZEPA\_2 project brings together Equipmake, Emergency One, London Fire Brigade, and Cenex to specify, develop and demonstrate a novel energy management system which will enable Fire Services globally to migrate to a fully battery electric fleet. Fire Appliances are required on occasion to pump water for extended periods requiring diesel vehicles to be ...

The collaboration between Perkins Engines Company Limited, Equipmake, and Loughborough University is to design, develop and demonstrate an innovative 'drop-in' pre-integrated, highly configurable electric hybrid power system capable of operating using hydrogen or lower carbon intensity fuels that a wide-range of customers can readily incorporate into thei...

The HEIDI: Hydrogen Electric Integrated Drivetrain Initiative project will develop a hydrogen fuel cell double-deck bus, using innovative, low-cost fuel cell technology developed in the UK. This fuel cell bus will only emit water. Hydrogen fuel cell technology is crucial to decarbonizing our public transport and improving air quality in our towns and citi...

This feasibility study will explore the development of a strategic mass transit system which links Milton Keynes with its surrounding sub-region. The system, which will comprise a small number of key corridors reaching to a radius of approximately 25km from the city centre, will enable the populations of the surrounding towns and large villages to partici...

Following 10 years of Research and Development, Equipmake, a leading developer of electric drivetrain technology, based in Snetterton, Norfolk, is now ready to take the final step into full series production. Benefitting from government funding under the Innovate UK IDP programme, and the Advanced Propulsion Centre initiatives, Equipmakes class leading te...

Public description This project brings together 3 UK SME's Equipmake Ltd, Potenza Technology and EPS, to develop a ground breaking electric bus architecture which will significantly improve the efficiency of electric buses, reducing their cost and hence accelerating uptake. This will result in cities getting cleaner air more quickly than would have been t...

This project aims to utilise Additive Manufacturing (AM) to address the key issues with current electric motor design to deliver step changes in power density. The consortium will build upon the existing class-leading motor architectures from Equipmake and utilise targeted cooling of rotor and stator components. HiETA bring their expertise in thermal mana...

Commercial vehicles contribute to 25% of all transport CO2 emissions in the EU, but to date have not been subject to CO2 emissions regulations. Commercial vehicle CO2 regulations are expected within the next 5 years. Additionally, air quality in cities is increasingly has become a major issue, leading to many cities announcing stricter emissions legislati...

It is forecast that by 2025 40% of passenger vehicle sales will feature some form of electrification. Risk averse global manufacturers need their supply chain to deliver proven, market ready low carbon technologies to meet rapidly changing consumer demands and legislative requirements. HIPERCAR 2 takes the results of successful R&D projects, progressing f...

Cities globally are under pressure to improve local air quality and reduce CO2 emissions. This has created a market pull for zero emission buses.However market adoption has been slow as current solutions are too expensive and heavy, mainly due to the cost and size of the battery pack required. The heating, cooling and ventilation (HVAC) of an electric bus...

This project investigates the technical feasibility of creating a combined steam and radial turbine expander and integrated electric machine to enable step-change emissions reductions and efficiency improvements from waste heat recovery systems. The consortium will carry out conceptual design work, manufacture a prototype and carry out some limited bench ...

Concerns over poor air quality in cities and CO2 emissions of vehicles is leading to the demand that all vehicles, including commercial vehicles, operate with zero emissions in city centres. Buses and commercial vehicles currently use engine driven compressors to supply compressed air for brake and suspension operation. This project will develop a high sp...
