O O One year later we catch up with our graduates to see how they have found their first year in the field. Agnese supports the delivery of cell manufacturing and hydrogen technology projects. She holds a Master’s degree in Chemical and Process Engineering and is interested in process simulation and optimisation. Joel is a […]
The marine sector is responsible for 3.3% of global CO2 production, with figures from the European Environment Agency (EEA) suggesting that this will rise significantly, if the marine industry does nothing to reduce its environmental impact. It is therefore critical that the sector develops and deploys new forms of low emission propulsion systems to […]
The Need to Drive Down Costs At the moment, the manufacture of fuel cell stacks in the UK is a bespoke process, often limited in both volume and size. It requires significant expertise and technical proficiency, which makes it difficult to produce fuel cells cost-efficiently or manufacture them at scale. The HySMART project aims […]
The Automotive Industry’s Electric Future The transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric- powered vehicles (EVs) is certain – from 2030 ICE vehicles will be banned from sale in the UK. However, the pace of conversion in each market and the uptake of emerging technologies, such as new types of batteries, electric drives […]
The implementation of new regulations and policies from governments to meet their CO2 emission targets is a hugely welcome step in the fight against climate change. However, it means that there are challenges facing some of the more emission-intensive industries, such as automotive. Managing a smooth transition into electrification is a significant challenge for […]
Over the past ten months, HSSMI has supported Ford Motor Company with their ATF application, in a bid to unlock government funding towards anchoring Ford’s future European e-drive facility in the UK. As part of the application, Ford’s existing ICE transmission facility in Halewood was proposed to be transformed towards producing up to 250,000 […]
Ultramax is one of the leading manufacturers of batteries in the UK, operating for over 15 years. The company operates two battery manufacturing plants – one in the UK and one in Dongguan, China. Clients from across the automotive, off-highway, and energy storage sectors use Ultramax products and the company has to respond to […]
In a project that ran parallel to the aforementioned optimisation of AMTE Power’s Thurso manufacturing base, HSSMI worked with the battery cell manufacturer to explore how digital simulation tools could support AMTE Power as it scales up its operations towards Gigafactory production rates. HSSMI worked with AMTE Power to leverage digital tools in […]
Leading battery cell manufacturer AMTE Power (AMTE) is moving ahead with plans to develop one of the UK’s first Gigafactories – building its output of critical battery capacity that will underpin the transition to net zero. The company is using its existing manufacturing base at Thurso, Scotland, to meet increased demand for its new, […]
A Key Element in the Future of Electrification Gallium is expected to replace silicone in critical power system semiconductors in the near future due to its comparatively superior characteristics of a wider band gap, faster switches, lower heat loss, and smaller space requirements. Semiconductors are used in applications for power electronics, machines, and drives […]
