WMG, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is part of a new project to create a new circular end-of-life supply chain for the electric vehicle industry. The project, led by EMR has won grant support from the UK Government’s Advanced Propulsion Centre.

Three academics at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ have been awarded Turing AI Acceleration Fellowships, in which they will develop novel AI techniques, which could have wide-ranging impact, for example through developing digital twins that can aid us in modelling and understanding air pollution and teaching robots how to collaborate amongst themselves and the world.

On the 25^th November Coventry City Councillor Jim O'Boyle, Coventry Cabinet Member for Jobs and Regeneration, took the opportunity to see how the construction of the Coventry VLR prototype, developed by engineers at WMG, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ for the City of Coventry is progressing.

A research team, including WMG at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, led by Swansea University College of Engineering, are developing a pilot online marketplace designed to optimise manufacturing supply chain networks and create a new industry-wide business model.

It is common knowledge in battery manufacturing that many cathode materials are moisture sensitive. However, as the popularity of high nickel-based battery components increases, researchers from WMG, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ have found that the drier the conditions that these cathodes are stored and processed in, then significant improvement in performance of the battery is gained.

When it comes to Autonomous Vehicles the question on everyone’s lips is when will they be on the roads? However for them to be safely deployed there must be a policy framework.

In the report, ‘, published by the , Dr Siddartha Khastgir from WMG, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ as part of the Technical Working Group of the Safe Drive Initiative, contributed to the technological aspects of the policy framework building on his UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship research outcomes.
