BENEFITS TO THE CLIENT The work of the PERSEUS project has enabled the following to be achieved: The consortium and key stakeholders at these organisations have enhanced their knowledge of Electric Drive Units, enabling these organisations to better position themselves for the future. Road test a new set of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) courses alongside other consortia members, created by BCU. Expecting to be launched to the wider industry in 2022. [ref: The PERSEUS project - School of Engineering and the Built Environment | Birmingham City University (bcu.ac.uk)] JLR better understands what it needs to do to prepare for the transition into an EDU production line and fully flexible facility.
The project benefits were not limited to the consortia. The direct results of the UK Supply Chain Mapping Study have been shared with APC to create a heightened understanding of the current state of the electrification and electric vehicle supply chains. This should enable future funding to be targeted at the key areas for UK manufacturing. Key aspects of the study included: The current potential of the supply chain. Insight directly from industry on what needs to be addressed to be able to cope with the increasing mass demand for EDUs and electric vehicles. How to future-proof the supply chain by methods such as strategic enablement, knowledge transfer and upskilling. The knowledge and expertise developed by the MTC is not only transferrable across the UK’s Automotive Sector, but also to other sectors in the quest to minimise their carbon footprint by adopting electrification technologies. Involvement in this project has placed the MTC as a thought-leader for the manufacturing technologies required for industrialisation and scale-up of production of Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD) within the UK.
The APC is proud to have supported a project that prepares the UK’s manufacturing capability for the net-zero future. The PERSEUS project has enabled Jaguar Land Rover and manufacturing equipment suppliers to investigate, develop, and prove out processes that allow engine facilities to convert to making electric drive units. The consortium of companies delivering the PERSEUS project have collaborated to build relationships, develop knowledge, and secure UK jobs. Dan Fung Head of Strategy and Planning, APC UK
