EVS36 Sacramento
(Oilandgaspress) Some of the UK’s most advanced automotive companies will team up next week (11-14 June) at the 36th International Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition (EVS36) in Sacramento, California to demonstrate how British innovation and engineering is driving one of the world’s most ambitious transport decarbonisation timelines.
Six leading firms will make up the UK pavilion, hosted by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) in partnership with the UK Department for Business and Trade, and supported by the Advanced Propulsion Centre and Innovate UK. The stand is part of a broader mission to boost trade and investment into the UK automotive sector and create new international business opportunities, particularly with firms in the US.
Manufacturers are investing billions in new zero emission vehicles, expanding the market and, increasingly, building them in Britain. New battery electric (BEV) car registrations are up by more than a quarter (25.6%) since this time last year, with the UK now the second largest BEV market by volume in Europe. With electrified vehicles representing well over a third (37.7%) of all UK car production in April, Britain is fast becoming a leader in the electric transition.1
UK Automotive’s commitment to a sustainable and strong electric vehicle supply chain is also evident, buoyed by decades of investment in EV research and development, with an export value of some £10 billion.2 The UK has clear strengths that are enabling the transition of production, with advanced facilities, world-famous brands and a flexible, highly skilled and productive workforce that continues to upskill with the latest and greenest technologies.
Combined with Britain’s robust foundations in advanced manufacturing, engineering and R&D, the supply chain solidifies the UK’s position on the global stage and as an ideal destination for businesses seeking to establish a foothold in electric vehicle mobility. Moreover, SMMT’s EV Supply Chain Directory, published this year, maps the UK’s capabilities in this area of technology, producing almost every component required to make zero emission vehicles – from batteries and hydrogen fuel cells to silicon carbide wafers, power electronics, anodes, rare earth magnets, graphene and silicon carbide wafers.
