IMPACT OF FV ROADMAPPING ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF
LOW CARBON POWERTRAINS

• Innovate 2006
• 2nd November 2006

Heading towards attractive and profitable low
carbon vehicles

• Summary
• a continuous process generating a
  future-orientated sector
• FV Roadmap V1 The map 2002
• FV Roadmap V2 The destinations 2004
• Cenex (via LowCVP) R, D D Priorities 2004/5
• FV Thematic Groups Projects and partners 2005/6

R D D Priorities

• In anticipation of Cenex and its KTN, a sub-group
  of the LowCVP RD WG defined the research,
  development and demonstration priorities for the
  automotive sector in the UK
• By identifying the key technologies currently
  seen as the most likely to contribute to the
  reduction of road transport CO2 emissions
• By understanding the current UK state-of-the-art
  in each of them
• By prioritising the technologies that would best
  benefit from increased research intensity, taking
  account of-
• CO2 reduction potential
• Time to market and attractiveness to the consumer
• Commercial benefit to the UK (exports, inward
  investment, IP exploitation)

Projects and partners (work-in-progress)

• Two Thematic Groups of Foresight Vehicle, namely
  Engine and Powertrain (EPT) and Hybrid, Electric
  and Alternatively-fuelled Vehicles (HEAFV) joined
  forces to identify the priority topics on which
  members and others wish to collaborate.
• The Cenex RDD document was a primary reference
• Other documents include the ERTRAC SRA (no major
  inconsistencies)
• The planned technology trajectories of the
  participating companies are the defining factors
• Document prepared justifying investment in low
  CO2 RD at UK automotive companies
• National and European programmes are targeted (eg
  DTI TP and FP7)
• Engaging with European sectoral groups

IMPACT OF FV ROADMAPS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW
CARBON POWERTRAINS

• CONCLUSIONS
• Roadmapping is a continuous process with several
  distinct targets
• The details of the resulting maps seem less
  important than the creation of a future-aware
  community with an agenda for action
• A strengthened appetite for collaborative
  national and European RTD is evident in the low
  carbon powertrain community
