The project will design, model, develop and evaluate an industry first Low Cost Auxillary Power Unit (LowCAP) for Range Extended Electric Vehicles (REEVs) Tata Motors European Technical Centre (TMETC) plc, Ashwoods Automotive Ltd (Ashwoods), and University of Bath (Bath) combine to offer the set of skills to develop, evaluate and exploit the outputs in global mass market volumes. The project will result in UK intellectual property being technically and commercially tied into one of the lowest cost modern internal combustion engines (ICE) on the market which is built by Tata Motors and is anticipated to be exploited globally within the Tata Motors Group and beyond to the global OEM marketplace. The project will be focused from day one towards the low cost REEV market. The motors and controllers will be an exploitation of the low cost electric motor technology developed by Ashwoods through previous TSB funded projects involving Ashwoods and Bath. The project will see futher innovations low cost motor and inverter IP that will enable the development of a highly efficient, low cost, fully integrated, lightweight APU built from sustainable materials. Successful outputs will be sold and distributed by Tata Motors Group within their own vehicles and as a standard LowCAP unit to global OEMs.

该项目将设计，建模，开发和评估行业首个用于增程电动汽车（REEV）的低成本辅助动力装置（LowCAP）塔塔汽车欧洲技术中心（TMETC）plc，Ashwoods Automotive Ltd（Ashwoods）和巴斯大学（巴斯）联合收割机联合提供一套技能，以开发，评估和利用全球大众市场的产量。该项目将使英国知识产权在技术和商业上与市场上成本最低的现代内燃机（ICE）之一联系在一起，该内燃机由塔塔汽车公司制造，预计将在塔塔汽车集团内部以及全球OEM市场内进行全球开发。该项目将从第一天开始专注于低成本REEV市场。电机和控制器将利用Ashwoods通过先前TSB资助的Ashwoods和Bath项目开发的低成本电动机技术。该项目将进一步创新低成本电机和逆变器IP，从而能够开发出由可持续材料制成的高效，低成本，完全集成的轻量化APU。成功的产品将由塔塔汽车集团在自己的车辆中销售和分销，并作为标准的LowCAP单元销售给全球OEM。
