As electrification of transport accelerates in all major sectors, OEMs and battery developers have an increasing need for knowledge and facilities to support research, development and validation of electrified products. The UK does not currently have the capability or capacity to meet this growing demand. This puts UK companies at a significant disadvantage due to the cost and time delays of shipping batteries to the EU or USA for development testing -- even when such capacity can be identified.AVL and WMG propose to set up an advanced battery research and development centre, located at Wellesbourne in the Midlands, that can offer the innovative skills and infrastructure to the UK automotive industry and beyond: the **UK Battery Research and Development Centre (UKBRDC).** This centre will develop and apply state-of-the-art development and validation methodologies, and will offer the combined knowledge and capability of AVL and WMG to UK OEMs and battery developers.The scope of operations will include cell, module and pack scale testing and development, incorporating expected future requirements such as larger and higher voltage modules and packs, and the need for repeatable abuse testing at pack level.Whilst initially focused on the Automotive sector, the centre will be scoped to grow into aerospace, off-highway, marine, rail and static energy storage markets as they evolve.By offering test and development capability, this centre is fully complementary to investments already by UK government in this area, such as the Faraday Challenge, UK Battery Industrialisation Centre, Driving the Electric Revolution, and the APC and IUK research and development programmes.

随着交通运输电气化在所有主要行业的加速发展，OEM和电池开发商越来越需要知识和设施来支持电气化产品的研究，开发和验证。英国目前没有能力或能力满足这一不断增长的需求。这使得英国公司处于非常不利的地位，因为将电池运送到欧盟或美国进行开发测试的成本和时间延迟-即使这种能力可以确定。AVL和WMG提议在中部地区的威尔斯本建立一个先进的电池研发中心，为英国汽车行业和其他行业提供创新技能和基础设施：英国电池研究与开发中心（UKBRDC）该中心将开发和应用最先进的开发和验证方法，并将为英国OEM和电池开发商提供AVL和WMG的综合知识和能力。业务范围将包括电池、模块和电池组规模的测试和开发，并结合预期的未来需求，如更大和更高电压的模块和电池组，以及对电池组级可重复滥用测试的需求。该中心最初专注于汽车行业，随着这些市场的发展，该中心将扩大到航空航天、非公路、船舶、铁路和静态储能市场。通过提供测试和开发能力，该中心与英国政府在该领域的投资完全互补，如法拉第挑战赛、英国电池工业化中心、推动电力革命以及APC和IUK研发计划。
