UK-Alumotor

在Driving the Electric Revolution（工业战略挑战基金的一部分）的支持下，UK-Bermotor将开发一个专门的供应链，以制造一种专利电机（e-machine），该电机将利用英国的高价值制造技术。电子机器将利用专业材料，转移航空航天和赛车领域开发的技术以及商品材料。电动机器将使用铝和铁，而不是铜和稀土金属（用于永磁电机），后者会受到价格波动和进口关税的影响。这为英国供应链提供了竞争优势，以满足未来十年及更长时间内对牵引电机不断增长的市场需求。由里卡多领导的英国-三菱电机联盟是一个由来自英国各地的合作伙伴组成的多元化团队，与非授权OEM利益相关者迈凯轮和JCB合作。我们的制造合作伙伴Aspire、Brandauer、GTR和PSI将评估、选择和开发低成本、精益的制造工艺，这些工艺可以扩展到适当的数量。这些可扩展的流程将确保质量，最大限度地减少材料浪费，并对电动机的生命周期影响进行评估。JCB和McLaren将在整个工作过程中向供应链提供应用部门反馈，确保产品满足高性能跑车和非公路市场的特定需求。通过调整我们的方法来满足应用要求，我们确保最终的“制造设计”产品仍然适合应用于多个领域，包括航空航天，船舶和铁路。我们的学术合作伙伴WMG将通过文献综述，技术研讨会和专门的咨询工作来支持该计划。他们将从该计划中学习，以改进其电子机器模型，支持虚拟验证。整个供应链将考虑产品的生命周期影响。与永磁电机相比，在电机中使用广泛可用且可回收的金属将减少电机生命周期的影响。UK-REACH MOTOR是一项变革性计划，将建立英国供应链，以降低成本和数量提供高性能电机，以推动英国和出口市场的电力革命。

UK-Alumotor, supported by Driving the Electric Revolution (part of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund), will develop a dedicated supply chain to manufacture a patented electric machine (e-machine) which will exploit UK-based high-value manufacturing technology. The e-machine will leverage specialist material, transferring technology developed within the aerospace & motorsports sectors, together with commodity materials. The e-machine will make use of aluminium & iron, rather than copper and rare earth metals (used in permanent magnet motors) which suffer price volatility and import tariffs. This provides the UK supply chain with competitive advantage to fulfil the growing market demand for traction e-machines during the next decade and beyond.The UK-Alumotor consortium, led by Ricardo, is a diverse team of partners from across the UK in conjunction with non-grant claiming OEM stakeholders McLaren and JCB. Our manufacturing partners Aspire, Brandauer, GTR and PSI will assess, select and develop low-cost, lean manufacturing processes that can be scaled to deliver the e-machine at appropriate volumes. These scalable processes will ensure quality, minimise material waste together with the lifecycle assessment impact of the e-machine.JCB and McLaren will provide application sector feedback to the supply chain throughout the work, ensuring that the product meets the specific needs of the performance sports car and off-highway markets. By aligning our approach to application requirements, we ensure the final "design for manufacture" product remains suitable for adoption into multiple sectors including aerospace, marine and rail.Our academic partner WMG will support the programme through literature review, technical workshops and dedicated advisory work. They will deploy learning from the programme to improve their e-machine models in support of virtual validation.The lifecycle impact of the product will be considered throughout the supply chain. Using widely available, and recycled, metals within the e-machine will reduce the lifecycle impact of the e-machine compared with permanent magnet-based motors.UK-Alumotor is a transformative programme that will build a UK supply chain to deliver a high performance, e-machine at a reduced cost and volume in order to drive the electric revolution, both within the UK and the export market.
