Case Studies

In a future UK, internal combustion engines and systems will be replaced by electric motors, power electronics and battery packs. WMG is at the forefront of developing battery technology to enable the UK’s future electric mobility agenda.

WMG’s battery technology experts in the Energy Innovation Centre developed a safe, robust and fast methodology for grading used automotive Lithium-ion batteries.

The Integrated Zero Operational Emissions project, funded by Innovate UK, brought together industrial and research partners (Alexander Dennis Ltd, Arcola Energy Ltd, ITM Power Ltd and WMG) to explore and address concerns surrounding a fuel cell hybrid bus.

Working with WMG’s expertise and capability in electric machines research, Jaguar Land Rover brought together a consortium of partners to combine powertrain expertise and experience in a new collaborative environment.

Steel has always been widely recycled; for every tonne of new steel produced, just over one third uses recycled materials. But with 80% of the UK’s steel being recycled abroad, we need to do more in the UK to reduce our reliance on new steel.

Over the last two years researchers from WMG, together with TDi Ltd, have been designing and building the new Coventry Very Light Rail (VLR) vehicle for Coventry City Council.

WMG is collaborating with Pashley Cycles and three other SME across the Midlands to develop an electrically assisted, last mile delivery trike.
