APC backing announced for exciting £11.3M collaborative electric and kinetic energy innovation project

Shield Manufacturing Technologies is delighted to share APC’s announcement that it is leading the innovative midlands-based e-MOTIF manufacturing project, one of just three projects awarded by the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK.

Together with our partners EMPEL Systems PFS Manufacturing and PUNCH Flybrid, we will be developing a family of power-dense e-modules comprising electric motors with fully integrated inverters that will be used in flywheel energy storage systems and Electric Drive Units for deployment in passenger cars as well as commercial vehicles.

The other two winners of the competition are Wrightbus developing hydrogen buses & Meritor developing electric powertrains for heavy goods vehicles. Shield would like to congratulate these consortia and we look forward to seeing their projects progress.
