Low carbon is the only game in town. This is true From decades of experience, the UK automotive for every nation and for every major industry, not supply chain has built up great business acumen, least the automotive industry which, for decades, contributing to outstanding performance. Partnership in has given us the many and considerable benefits international business is something that comes naturally that come from motorised road transport. And now, to our companies and the UK government supports the automotive sector is again leading the way in that by providing one of the most business-enabled developing low-carbon technologies to ensure that environments in the world. The UK is open for business future generations can continue to enjoy those benefits. and welcomes overseas investment in our low-carbon industries. In 2010, again, the Ernst & Young European The low carbon automotive sector has made Attractiveness Survey found that the UK was the best breathtaking strides in recent years and now promises destination in Europe for foreign direct investment. a new era of motoring which maintains performance, increases efficiency and sharply reduces pollution, I hope this brochure will provide you with a both in the manufacture and operation of vehicles. stimulating introduction to the UK’s low carbon UK companies and academic institutions have been, automotive excellence and that you will be persuaded and continue to be, at the leading edge of these that the UK should be your number one trading developments. The breadth of the UK’s world class partner and your location of choice for low-carbon capabilities are outlined in this brochure. vehicle technologies investment.
UK green vehicle capabilities encompass all areas of road transport including, for example, motorsport and off-highway vehicles. The technologies cover not just electric vehicles, as many might think, but also areas such as biofuels, super-light materials, lean-burn engines, regenerative braking, hybrid powertrains, exhaust gas energy recovery, powertrain efficiency enhancement and fuel cells. A particular strength of the UK is the breadth of expertise provided by our internationally renowned design engineering companies.
The UK automotive industry spends around £1 billion per year in research and development in the UK and more than 20 of our universities are engaged in basic Margaret Porteous automotive related research, with substantial support Director of Advanced Engineering & Energy from the UK government.
