The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) and Innovate UK, via the Faraday Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, is to invest up to £2 million in feasibility studies to enable industry-led research into vehicle technologies that accelerates the transition to zero emission vehicles.
A separate £18 million is available for research and development projects. This is being run as a linked competition.
Funding will be given for projects that:
-
develop low-cost, highly integrated systems to enable zero emission journeys for cars
-
identify technical or commercial challenges developing zero and zero emission capable technologies on vehicles, from motorbikes to large trucks
A briefing day on the competition will be held on 8 November 2017 at the Wales Principality Stadium, Cardiff from 9:30am to 4pm.
