Advanced Propulsion Centre UK funding competition
/
The Advanced Propulsion Centre are running their 12th funding competition APC12: advancing the UK’s low carbon automotive capability, they will be investing up to £20 million in projects that support the development of low carbon propulsion capability in the UK automotive sector and anchor the next-generation supply chain.
They are welcoming applications from UK-based later-stage R&D projects that require funding to support the UK’s long-term supply chain and associated capabilities, in the design, build and manufacture of low and zero tailpipe-emission capable vehicles. They are looking for projects from organisations developing technology that can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve air quality compared the best in class.
Projects must help make capabilities a permanent part of the UK supply chain. They must be in the following areas:
electric machines and power electronics
energy storage and energy management
lightweight vehicle and powertrain structures
alternative propulsion systems
thermal propulsion systems
Projects must have a proven technology concept and demonstrate that there is a clear route to market, with the primary technology application being automotive.
