Ford of Europe is launching many of its most popular models with hybrid and full battery electric powertrains. Present demand is imported from one global source. Over the coming years, demand is anticipated to support stand-alone manufacture of electric drives and transmissions in the region.The purpose of this feasibility study will be to ensure that the advantages of UK manufacture are clearly understood and quantified to support the site selection process. Funding will allow it to ensure a UK based engineering team gains experience and knowledge to provide local insight into this study and future iterations. They will have funding for expert advice and resource to investigate cost reduction opportunities. Future proofing the facility will be a key area of study as well as reducing uncertainty and contingency in any UK study.This project aims to ensure that all aspects underlining the commercial viability of a large-scale EDU facility in the UK are fully discovered and compelling going forward to our wider European and global plan.

欧洲的福特正在推出许多最受欢迎的混合动力和全电池电动动力系统车型。目前的需求是从一个全球来源进口的。在未来几年，预计需求将支持独立制造的电力驱动器和变速器在该地区。本可行性研究的目的是确保英国制造的优势得到明确理解和量化，以支持选址过程。资金将使其能够确保英国的工程团队获得经验和知识，为这项研究和未来的迭代提供本地见解。他们将获得专家咨询的资金和资源，以调查降低成本的机会。未来证明该设施将是一个关键的研究领域，以及减少不确定性和应急在任何英国的研究。该项目旨在确保强调在英国的大型EDU设施的商业可行性的所有方面都得到充分发现，并迫使我们更广泛的欧洲和全球计划。
