  • The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders
    The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders InternationalInternational Automotive Automotive Summit Summit 2424 November November 2009 2009 Chief executive’s welcome I am delighted to welcome you here this afternoon to SMMT’s first International Automotive Summit. We meet at an extremely important time, having endured the most difficult economic conditions, and this event gives us the chance to look beyond the recession and recognise the opportunities that lie ahead. Across the political spectrum there is widespread recognition that the UK cannot thrive on financial services alone. Manufacturing, and particularly automotive manufacturing, has a vital role to play in a more balanced economy and will be one of the generators of jobs and prosperity in the years ahead. Government has recognised the strategic national importance of our sector and through its support for the New Automotive Innovation and Growth Team’s report, has committed to a long-term partnership with the motor industry. In terms of our future, we know the global demand for motor vehicles will return. The fast growing markets in Brazil, India and China will continue to embrace personal mobility at faster rates and the replacement cycle for vehicles in developed markets will return. But this future demand will be for cleaner, safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles that can be developed and manufactured anywhere in the world. The challenge for the UK motor industry, and the government, is how to ensure the UK retains and grows its share of the developing global market. The UK’s automotive strengths – efficiency, productivity, innovative R&D and a flexible workforce have already attracted a diverse presence of vehicle manufacturers from Europe, Japan, Malaysia, China, Kuwait, India and the US.

Lightweighting of bus structures is identified by leading experts as one of the key technologies necessary to enable and assist this revolution in the industry. Alexander Dennis Ltd. (ADL) is the UK’s largest bus manufacturer and a worldwide leader in the construction of double-decker buses. ADL consider lightweighting to be one of the three main technological pillars of the company and have thus supported various ongoing research programmes with this EngD research programme funded in collaboration with WMG, University of Warwick. This thesis summarises the outcomes of the EngD programme, the primary objective revolving around the identification of innovative yet feasible lightweighting opportunities applicable to ADL double-decker buses.

  • MDDP Project - Advanced City Bus 2013
    MDDP 2012/2013 Advanced City Bus Final Report 14nd January 2013 By: David Williams Robert Spencer Francesca Rapley Khairul Zamani Morgan Schofield Mike Frazer Supervisors: John Mackey, John Doherty, Aldo Sorniotti Abstract This report builds on the concept presented in the Inception Report and presents a final conceptual design for an Advanced City Bus. Through innovative technology and thoughtful design, the presented vehicle is 51% more fuel efficient and produces 33.8% less CO2 than the Alexander Dennis Enviro300 baseline vehicle when at full capacity. The design is visually more appealing, offers an enhanced user experience. This technical report details and justifies the design choices made in creating the Advanced City Bus and presents financial and environmental analysis of the positive impact the vehicle can have for a long term fleet operator. MDDP Project - Advanced City Bus 2013 1. Executive Summary In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, the impact that the transport industry has on the world's climate is the subject of much debate, and much concern amongst vehicle manufacturers. With consumers ever more aware of the implications of climate change and more demanding in the products they choose, it becomes increasingly more important to demonstrate that your business is actively engaging in green technology. In the car industry, this has become common place with the introduction of various hybrid technologies but in the public transport industry, limited advances have been made. Bus design has remained stagnant for years, with no major advances in technology emerging. In the current economic climate, characterised by sustained and rising fuel prices, this presents a serious concern to fleet operators.
