1 Turning low carbon propulsion technologies into products developed in the UK Developments in Transmission and Driveline Technology 27 th January 2015 Garry Wilson, Director Business Development

2 Origins of the Automotive Council and the APC

3 Foundations of the APC Aim: To create a competitive, growing and dynamic UK Automotive Industry making a large and increasing contribution to employment and economic growth in the UK 1) Innovation & Technology Advanced Propulsion Centre ( 1bn investment / 10 years) 2) Enhancing supply chain competitiveness and growth 3) Investing in people 4) Business Environment enabling a competitive Automotive industry

4 The APC Governance & Communication Board. Industry, Academia and Government Business and Governance Competition process has commenced APC UK. Company established November Industry Experienced Team Advisory Group. Industry, Academia and Government Communication, Engagement and Visibility Hub & spoke network developing

5 Where the APC fits - Commerce A 10 year partnership between industry and government to build UK capability through the research, development and industrialisation of Low Carbon Propulsion Technology s. Industry 500m Government 500m Invest in promising products, processes and people over the next 10 years. Encourage collaboration between SMEs, vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers. Enable advanced propulsion technologies to be ready for on and off road applications: turning technologies into products. Support technology developers to drive innovation. Enable projects that drive investment in the UK. Embed expertise and know-how. Work with existing providers to deliver a complete propulsion development infrastructure. Act as a channel for communication and implementation of the strategies and road maps of the Automotive Council. Creating Value for Money, successfully matching private and public investment.

6 Where the APC fits - Projects Product Process People EPSRC University Innovate UK Early Stage SMEs, technology developers Service Providers High Value Manufacturing Catapult Universities, skills academies, professional bodies, ADVANCED PROPULSION CENTRE Goal to provide confidence of robust technologies, processes and resources, suitable for partner vehicle programme adoption Supply Chain Tier One & OEM TRL 1 TRL 3 TRL 4 TRL 6 TRL 8 TRL 9 MRL 1 MRL 2 MRL 4 MRL 7 MRL 8-9 MRL 10 Consortium involves SME, Supplier and OEM. Meets Value for Money criteria. At Technology Readiness Level 6 / Manufacturing Readiness Level 4. Funding up to the point of commercialisation.

7 Our processes - We help to turn low carbon propulsion technology into products developed in the UK through Competitions The APC provides access to government and industry resources for your projects. The APC network Connects you to industry and academic resources.

8 SME Support - Technology Developer Accelerator Programme COLLABORATION Pilot programme aimed predominately at SMEs Focused on early stage mentoring of Technology Developers Grant funded programme Target = readiness for IDP / Customer / APC competitions 22 Initial applicants, 10 selected by the APC / BIS team for inclusion in the programme 3 Stage Process i. Concept definition ii. Business Plan iii. Characterisation Programme to run through 2015 with review Q4 to determine longer term viability

9 Competitions APC Collaborative Competitions APC1 Winners announced April 2014 APC2 Winners announced Nov 2014 APC3 Planned announcement March competitions per year, from 2013 = a long term commitment that aids business planning, plus an exceptions process for Time Critical Projects m of Grant funding available (~ 200m project value)

10 Competitions - The Technology Focus Power train (ICE) technology roadmap > Resource Library > Propulsion Roadmaps

11 Competitions - Making a difference

12 Competitions - A winning project - APC1 FIRS3T - Frequent IntegRated Soft Stop Start Technology. About: A diesel electric propulsion systems for bus application (potential retrofit). Benefits: It delivers significant bus vehicle CO 2 emission reductions compared to current best-in-class. Project 9.87 million Project 36 months Value: Duration: Partners: (lead partner)

13 Competitions APC third round APC3 now closed. Announcement of winners March 2015 Next competition APC4 due to be announced May 2015 More competition details
