该项目将为Protean的高效轮毂电机（IWM）开发和展示新的轻量化和新技术，支持和加速OEM客户根据他们的要求采用它们，并超过目前同类最佳标准。它将由Protean电气有限公司与英国供应商共同承担，支持并可能加速IWM在未来汽车开发计划中的应用，主要是欧洲和英国的汽车制造商。在过去的15年里，Protean Electric已经建立了作为IWM技术领导者的声誉。Protean目前的产品是小批量生产，被oem视为提供电气化技术的关键合作伙伴，使我们更接近NetZero。虽然这些技术的开发几乎完全在英国进行，但今天的制造业却以中国为基地。IWM将成为推动推出差异化电动汽车（EV）的关键技术，这将促进实现二氧化碳排放目标所需的更广泛的电动汽车采用。为了使Protean保持在其帮助建立的IWM市场的核心地位，其战略是将其下一代IWM家族的开发和生产转向欧洲，以更接近其欧洲和英国的OEM客户，而这个英国的项目将使我们能够加速我们的技术创新，以释放客户应用机会。该项目将增强英国在NetZero汽车技术这一重要领域的领导地位，并释放IWMs为汽车行业提供的变革性汽车设计和包装机会。它将帮助英国建立强大的中小企业主导的供应链，与英国领先的大学携手合作，提高英国的生产力和全球竞争力，并有助于证明英国是投资NetZero汽车技术的关键地方。该项目可能会给英国带来重大的出口和进口替代，并为英国带来一系列其他经济利益，如英国各地的内向投资、技能发展和就业创造。将英国作为先进的下一代IWM的目的地保持在地图上是该项目的一个关键产出，这可能导致英国在2030年之前获得价值约280亿美元的全球机会的一部分。

This project will develop and demonstrate new lightweight and novel technologies for Protean's high efficiency In-Wheel Motors (IWM), supporting and accelerating their adoption by OEM customers according to their requirements and exceeding currently available best in class standards. It will be undertaken by Protean Electric Ltd with UK suppliers, supporting and potentially accelerating IWM applications in future vehicle development programmes of predominantly European and UK based vehicle manufacturers.Over the last 15 years, Protean Electric has built a reputation as a leader in IWM technology. Its current products are in low volume production and Protean is seen by OEMs as a key partner in the delivery of electrification technology that moves us closer to NetZero. Whilst the development of these technologies has been almost exclusively in the UK, today manufacturing is based in China.IWM are set to become a key technology in the drive to launch differentiated Electric Vehicles (EVs), which facilitate the broader EV adoption required to meet CO2 targets. In order for Protean to remain at the heart of the market it has helped build for IWM, its strategy is to pivot the development and production of its family of next generation IWMs to Europe to be closer to its European and UK OEM customers, and this UK based project will allow us to accelerate our technology innovation to unlock customer application opportunities.The project will enhance the UK's leadership role in this important area of NetZero automotive technology and unleash transformational vehicle design and packaging opportunities that IWMs offer the automotive sector. It will help the UK to build strong SME led supply chains that work hand in hand with leading UK universities, improve UK productivity and global competitiveness, and help demonstrate that the UK is a key place to invest in NetZero automotive technologies.?The project could lead to significant UK exports and import substitution, as well as a range of other UK economic benefits, such as inward investment, skills development and job creation across the UK. Keeping the UK on the map as a destination for advanced next generation IWM is a key output of the project, which could lead to the UK securing part of a global opportunity worth an estimated $28bn by 2030\.
