Hyperdrive Innovation Ltd

Project ZEPLO (Zero Emission Powertrain for Large Off-highway) is a collaborative industrial research project between JCB and Hyperdrive Innovation. The partners will bring together their expertise to explore a range of zero emission powertrain technologies which will be applied to heavy duty off-highway machinery as necessary part of the road to zero ini...

The High Energy Density Battery (HEDB) project will bring academic and industrial research together to deliver productivity improvements at Nissan's battery manufacturing plant in Sunderland. NMUK already operates one of the most productive car plants in Europe, and has brought hundreds of millions of pounds of inward investment to the UK, including the o...

This project brings together two companies - Hyperdrive Innovation and Oxis Energy - who are the forefront of battery technology in the UK to explore the technical feasibility of a new generation of energy storage for use in extremely cold climates. This will be achieved by developing a low temperature electrolyte for Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) rechargeable ba...

This project brings together five organisations to deliver technology that addresses key factors currently slowing the uptake of Electric and Hybrid vehicles. This will be achieved by integrating and improving the function of the battery management system and the on-board charger. The work to be carried out accelerates the development of an innovative pro...

HElP-BT: Hybrid Electric Push-Back Tractor HElP-BT is a series hybrid, aircraft push-back tractor with a downsized diesel engine and an electric driveline with a state of the art control system and energy storage device. The project brings together companies providing market leading innovation and a global sales reach along with a leading academic institu...

The project is setting out to develop a zero emission lightweight electric compact mini sweeping machine for municipal and contractor use in town and shopping centre environments, delivering an industry wide step change in the efficiency, particulate and noise emissions of this type of machine. The key project objectives include; 1) Lightweighting of the ...

ASV Ltd, a growing marine technology company and the University of Portsmouth have worked together with TSB funding to develop an innovative Autonomous Rescue Vessel (ARV). This unit will be installed on commercial vessels and shoreside facilities and automatically launch itself upon a person falling overboard into the water. The consortium will consist o...

DC/DC converters are essential in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. These electronic devices step-up or step-down the battery voltage to a voltage level that suits the electric motor, the cabin supply or other essential loads. Current DC/DC converters are still expensive and heavy. A consortium of six UK manufacturers (Lotus, Turbo Power System, Indu...

Hyperdrive is new, UK based low carbon vehicle technology company who have produced a ‘proof of concept’ Range Extender. The device will significantly increase the range of electric vehicles and will offer cost and weight savings which will mean that more people will want to buy them. The Range Extender is a small engine and generator which generate elect...
