Electrified Automation Secures UK Government Funding Boost
Electrified Automation has been announced as one of seven companies who will receive part of a £2.2m UK government grant from the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK aimed at electrifying Britain’s automotive sector.
The investment from the APC’s Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF) will help accelerate Electrified Automation’s ongoing growth and enable it to expand its product offerings with next generation Electric Drive Units (EDUs).
Jim Winchester, Managing Director of Electrified Automation, said: “We are incredibly grateful to the APC for supporting our project. The funding will allow us to expand our product range and ensure compatibility with a wider range of EDU components.
“This is a pivotal moment for Electrified Automation. Over the past year we’ve not only grown our range of IPM motors and our customer base, but also significantly increased our sales and distribution network across Europe, the US and Canada.
“We now have the investment and infrastructure in place to enable us to scale up our manufacturing capabilities further still and help more customers worldwide drive their electrification journey.”
APC Automotive Transformation Director, Julian Hetherington, said: “This group of projects aims to demonstrate the opportunity to build a robust UK based EV and battery supply chain, enabling the transition to clean-automotive technologies.
“Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF) grants help to unlock further private investment, which accelerate the UK’s growing zero-emission vehicle sector.”
