Funding the future
As the drive towards “greener” logistics continues, Innovate UK has announced that businesses can now apply for a share of up to £30m to develop vehicle technologies that significantly reduce CO2 emissions and improve air quality.
In a statement issued today (23 April), Innovate UK said that the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) is looking to invest in technologies that support the long-term development of low and zero emission vehicles in the UK.
The technologies must be in the following areas:
- alternative propulsion systems
- electric machines and power electronics
- energy storage and energy management
- lightweight vehicle and powertrain structures
- thermal propulsion systems
Projects must have a proven technology concept and demonstrate that there is a clear route to market.
The competition opens on 30 April and the deadline for applications is midday on 27 June 2018.
