IAAPS is collaborating with McLaren on research into several technology areas for McLaren’s next generation engine and hybrid powertrain.
The IAAPS Team at the University of Bath was awarded an APC grant to develop a high specific power, modular combustion system and associated engine technologies for application in future vehicle programmes. The APC supports the development of a completely new generation of technically advanced engines offering significantly improved CO2 figures for high performance vehicles. IAAPS’ main responsibility in this project is to advance capabilities in ICE system efficiency R&D.
Technology resulting from this project will be implemented in a new generation of advanced engines for high-performance vehicles. This project results in significant CO2 reduction in high-performance cars.
Enhancing the performance of advanced battery technologies is pivotal in the development of high-functioning electric vehicles. In this case study, we explore how a collaboration between Rockfort Engineering, a UK based design consultancy specialising in EV powertrain integration and technologies, and IAAPS leveraged state-of-the-art testing facilities and expertise to push the boundaries of battery technology.
The primary goal is to develop a high-speed, electrically driven two-stage compressor that is both lighter and cheaper and more efficient than current air compressor systems available in the automotive sector
