GBS becomes involved in a Zero Emission Vehicle Technology Project.....

We are excited to be part of this project in collaboration with Trelleborg Applied Technologies , Far-UK Ltd , Engenuity Ltd. Funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) through The Niche Vehicle Network, Trelleborg’s applied technologies operation will undertake a research and development project focused on electric vehicle (EV) battery material and design, as part of a collaboration with Trelleborg Applied Technologies, Far-UK Ltd and Engenuity Ltd.

The early stage R&D stream initiative provides a platform for collaborative research in the area of zero emission vehicle technologies within the UK niche vehicle sector.

The focus of the R&D project is to develop a novel material as an alternative to aluminium, that can be integrated into an EV battery to reduce the overall weight of the battery case, supporting the decarbonization of vehicles on the road and reducing emissions through light weighting.

The R&D project is for a six-month period, with findings and results published during 2022.
