A consortium including the councils and universities of Coventry and Birmingham and key names in the motor industry, such as Jaguar Land Rover and Mitsubishi Motors UK, were awarded a key engineering award at a ceremony last week.
In the Automotive Award section of The 2011 Engineer Technology & Innovation Awards, the consortium was awarded the prize for its work in running the U.K.’s largest trial of electric and ultra-low emission vehicles. Large quantities of qualitative and quantitative data are being collected to help plan future vehicles and systems in a 3 year project due to finish in 2012.
Other winners include the Cambridge Design Partnership in the Defence category for frontline medical equipment and EM Renewable in the Marine Category for their ‘Snapper’ device to be used in near and off-shore situations. Full details on all winners and their achievements can be seen in The Engineer magazine or online here www.theengineer.co.uk
