Opportunities still exist for the UK. Three key reasons: - To reduce logistics costs & strain. - To reduce exchange rates risks. - To support new ULC technologies SMMT Supply Chain Report Supply-side gaps exist in new and old technologies : Key gaps in current technology: - Castings and forgings; alloy wheels, alternators & /starter motors, brake components, fasteners, plastic mouldings, stampings, sheet steel, transmission components, wiring. - Advanced air-conditioning, ECUs in general, safety (esp. airbags), satellite navigation. New, low carbon technology will require a new supply chain, not just for batteries, but also: - Wiring, motors, reducers, inverters. - Plus plastic and metal components which could be supplied from existing suppliers.

Returning to the NEC Birmingham on 1-3 November for its biggest edition yet, the three day event will feature nearly 300 sector leading exhibitors representing every link of the supply chain – from the latest ‘must have’ vehicles (over 100 will be on display), vehicle interiors, accessories and workshop equipment, to IT solutions, training, legislation updates, and essential business services. Over 9,500 key industry buyers and decision makers from across Europe are expected to attend. The following is just a taste of what they’ll see at the show: Alexander Dennis (ADL) is exhibiting a wide range of low emission vehicles covering both single and double deck buses, and an extensive line-up of coaches; including a new-look Elite. Forefront technology will be on display, in the form of an electric midi bus – the Enviro200EV, and a double deck gas vehicle – the Enviro400CBG (stand D100). Five years ago, BMAC launched the first LED headlights for new buses. Now, they have launched generation two – full front of bus Opti-Lux LED high beam headlights and triple function front light. They are also previewing their new launch – the first light guide technology full suite of 122mm rear lights, which will complement their existing lighting programme (stand D95).

  • Chassis and Impact Attenuator Design for Formula Student Racing
    CHASSIS AND IMPACT ATTENUATOR DESIGN FOR FORMULA STUDENT RACE CAR MECH 5825M Professional Project Chassis and Impact Attenuator design for Formula student Race car Ahmed Oshinibosi Project Supervisor: Prof. D.C Barton 30th August 2012 AKNOWLEGDEMENT Firstly, I would like to appreciate the effort of my supervisor, Professor David Barton who is the head of school of mechanical engineering for his invaluable contribution towards the successful completion of this project. Secondly, I am indebted to my employer, Tallent Automotive Limited who did not only provide financial assistance to me in order to pursue this postgraduate Master’s degree, but also gave me the permission to utilise the company’s software packages to carry out this project. I also want to use this opportunity to thank the faculty of engineering for awarding me the International Excellence scholarship which also contributed towards my tuition fees. ABSTRACT Generally, in the automotive industry, weight reduction, cost of engineering design and reduction in vehicle development cycle time are becoming increasingly focused on. In order to tackle this, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is popularly being used to lead design process. This is more efficient than just using CAE as a verification tool. In the design of the F15 chassis, suitable Finite Element Analysis (FEA) optimisation techniques have been adopted from the early design stage. The design problem in view of weight reduction and increasing torsional stiffness has been solved by means of topology optimisation and also by applying gauge optimisation at the later stage of the design phase to optimise the size of structural members of the chassis.
