CTG partners up to develop Efficient Electrical Systems for Hybrids and Electric Vehicles
Wed 21st, Oct 2009CTG are key partners of a project which involves developing efficient electrical systems for Hybrids and Electric Vehicles.
The UK Technology Strategy Board is awarding more than £10 million (US$16.5 million) to projects to develop ultra-efficient electrical systems for electric and hybrid vehicles. This is the first set of awards resulting from a competition run under the Integrated Delivery Programme; a £200M investment program that will help accelerate the introduction of low carbon vehicles onto UK roads.
CTG will utilise their extensive expertise in the design & manufacture mechanical and electromechanical flywheels as well as flywheel containment and high speed motor magnet retention during the 24 month programme.
KINERGY - Kinetic Energy Recovery and Storage System
The project will provide CTG with improved capabilities and capacity; facilitating the manufacture of the 'next generation' volume production high speed CFRP flywheels and associated devices.
Mike Dewhirst CTG's Engineering Director said, "This is a very exciting project for our Clean Energy Technologies Team and with the world today moving towards electric vehicles and Hybrids, a demand is required for more energy efficient systems such as our Kinergy system".
