Prosperity Partnerships

人们对低碳汽车的需求越来越大，以减少运输部门对环境的影响，并应对脱碳压力。在过去的5年里，电池成本和性能有了显著的改善，这随后提高了电动汽车和混合动力汽车的生存能力。通过采用全系统方法实现电气化以提高效率，这一合作研究计划将专注于获得关于电池性能和退化、电力电子的新设备和封装、包括制造影响的电机设计以及解决扭矩传输的电力驱动对表面、基板和润滑剂造成的挑战以优化驱动材料的基础知识。这项研究将解决在英国加速汽车电气化的基础研究挑战。它将提供新的科学见解，以推动电动汽车和混合动力汽车的发现和创新。随着低排放车辆取代现有车辆，并将对整个供应链产生影响，这一研究方案产生的知识将提供一条维持和增加就业机会的途径。

There is a growing demand for low carbon vehicles to reduce the transport sector's environmental impact and respond to the pressure of decarbonisation. Over the last 5 years, battery costs and performance have improved significantly which has subsequently improved the viability of electric and hybrid vehicles. By taking a whole-systems approach to electrification for efficiency, this collaborative research programme will focus on gaining underpinning knowledge on battery performance and degradation, new devices and packaging for power electronic, design of electric motors that include manufacturing effects and addressing the challenges that electric drives for torque transmission impose on surfaces, substrates and lubricants to optimise materials for drives. This research will address the fundamental research challenges to accelerate electrification of vehicles in the UK. It will deliver new scientific insights to drive forward discovery and innovation in electric and hybrid vehicles. The knowledge generated by this research programme will provide a route to maintain and grow jobs as low emission vehicles replace existing vehicles and will have impacts across the supply chain.
