Investegate announcements from SiSTEM pilot battery assembly line

The UK's first EV battery strategy has been published which sets out a 2030 vision for the UK to have a globally competitive battery supply chain that supports economic prosperity and the transition to net zero carbon emissions.

The auto manufacturer plans to invest £2 billion over five years, to achieve a gradual shift from ICE technology to BEV technology.

The news comes weeks after the Government announced it had made major changes to a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars after millions have been invested in electric vehicles.

The Advanced Propulsion Centre UK has awarded funding to develop cutting-edge technologies in the automotive industry, supporting the transition to net-zero emission vehicles.

The Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC) funding award is to supplement the research and development of Aston Martin’s in-house bespoke luxury battery electric vehicle platform, the company said.

Twenty projects, including net zero tractors and new battery systems, share latest wave of innovation funding from government and industry

The government has awarded funding to 20 net zero tech projects including hydrogen-powered off-road vehicles, a lithium scale-up plant and electric vehicle (EV) battery systems.

The landmark funding package will support 20 innovative projects, reinforcing the UKs leadership in zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) technology.

Twenty UK projects aiming to develop cutting-edge net-zero transport technologies have received £89 million of Government and industry funding.
