This is the place where zero carbon innovation drives real-world solutions
We develop innovative transport technology solutions for industry, accelerating job creation for the regional economy. This is through deepening our research, development and manufacturing partnerships with industry across multiple sectors including aerospace, automotive, marine, rail, off-highway and energy.
We combine validation testing – both virtually in the digital twinning suite with its advanced computational power, and through prototypes in real world environmental conditions – combined with manufacturing and co-location.
Through this facility, partners will benefit from new industrial-scale research projects and commercially contracted testing and R&D programmes. They will be able to bring operations closer to the research facilities and access test cell incubators and office spaces.
Today we specialise in electrification, hydrogen and manufacturing. We are also working on strengthening other areas in future and to connect those into this same innovation gateway.
