Industrialising net zero automotive tech

Your project must:

contribute to the UK’s strategic aims and direction of travel towards net zero transport vision, such as the Automotive Council’s Roadmaps
deliver on-vehicle technologies or associated manufacturing processes which support the transition to net zero
support growth, transition and security of the UK’s automotive supply chain, increasing capability, whilst improving productivity, efficiency and competitiveness
support, through traditional or digitally enabled methods; UK R&D scale-up or commercialisation, decarbonisation of technology design, development, optimisation and production of sub-systems, vehicle systems, delivery of innovation value

Your project must advance technologies in one or more of the following areas:

energy storage batteries, their components, management and integration systems
fuel cell and associated balance of plant
electric machines
power electronics
fossil fuel-free (at the point of use) internal combustion (in the case of on-road solutions, we will support project proposals which aim to achieve zero harmful tailpipe emissions)
lightweighting materials, methods and processes
hydrogen storage and management systems
design for a circular economy, including the disassembly, recovery, and reuse of materials used in the project technologies
digitalisation of design for manufacture and recycling, development of low carbon vehicle innovation, manufacture of vehicle systems and sub-systems, data analytics, redesign, test and validation and verification

The economic benefit of your project will be assessed on criteria including but not limited to:

Your proposal must evidence:

a clear route to market exploitation, that can be evidenced, including intellectual property (IP) generated for the UK
a credible consortium-led approach to the project agreed in principle and able to proceed to a formal collaborative agreement
what would happen should the project not be funded
a demonstration of the outcomes by all partners, the costs can be claimed only if conducted before the end of the project duration
