Manufacture of Electric Powertrain
• Fuel cell manufacturing
• Large scale production of a novel PCB based fuel cell design
• Electric Motor
• High volume production facility
• Vehicle as Infrastructure
• Fuel cell production vehicles(forklifts) providing grid balancing at peak times
• Vehicle Grid Service
• Commercial viability of Electric vehicles in car parks supporting national grid

Hesitations in going electric
• Initial Cost
• A new production line
• New powertrain teams
• It’s a huge change
• Teams with decades of experience in internal combustion engines are no
longer relevant
• It’s easier to continue doing what you know best

Why go Electric?
Government Legislations are encouraging the manufacture and use of
low or zero emission vehicles.
• The UK government aim is for almost every car and van to be a zero emission
vehicle by 2050
• London will be requiring all new taxi and commercial vehicles to be zero emission by 2018
within the city.
• EU has a target for CO2 emissions to be below 95 grams per km by 2020
• Incentives
• Plug in Grant
• Tax exemptions – Fuel duty/ London Congestion charge

Why Electric?
• Consumer demand
• Eco consumers want a “greener” car
• Cheaper to run
• Electric cars offer a substantial cost benefit over the life of the
vehicle
• Cool factor
• Tesla, i3, i8 are changing the “milk float” image consumers
normally associate with electric vehicles.

• Competition
• All major manufacturers have an electric vehicle in production or in the pipeline
• No one want’s to be left behind
Ford
Renault
Vauxhall
Volkswagen
Tesla
Toyota
Honda
Nissan
Mitsubishi
Mercedes
Jaguar LandRover
London Taxi Company
• New manufacturers disrupting the market
Tesla
Google Car
Apple Car

• Performance
• Electric propulsion gives an instant power so can provide a
faster 0-60
• Tesla Model S in Ludacris mode can do it in 2.8 seconds
• That’s the same as the 2014 Lamborghini Aventador
• Electric can provide an additional performance boost to
internal combustion engine cars
• Enhancing vehicle performance using energy the car
otherwise wastes
• Comfort
• Low noise
• Plug-In-Hybrid Super car in electric mode – Stealth Mode?
• Low maintenance
C O L L A B O R AT E . R E S E A RC H . D E P LOY.
• Design flexibility
• Clean canvas – Design is no longer dictated by engine, gear box,
fuel tank placement
• Flat floor (gear box drive shaft tunnel)
• Extra boot space

Future of Car’s
• Market for Electric vehicles is expected to have 10% market share by
2020
• Efficiency will Improve considerably
• Energy recovery systems
• Efficient Heat, ventilation and Air Conditioning systems – e.g. Heat blanket by JLR
• Currently systems in Electric vehicles can reduce the range by up to 40 per cent (20% for ICE)
• 300+ miles range
• Faster charging
• Autonomous
• "When I look at the automobile, what I see is that software becomes an increasingly important
part of the car of the future. You see that autonomous driving becomes much more important.“
