    Industry News: Niche Vehicle Network 2022 Production Readiness Competition now open

    We are pleased to announce that the Niche Vehicle Network 2022 Production Readiness Competition is now open for applications.

    Funded by the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) and supported by Innovate UK, this competition provides a platform for collaborative R&D for organisations active in the UK niche and low carbon vehicle technology sector.

    The competition is open to niche vehicle manufacturers, system suppliers and design/engineering or technology organisations active in the UK specialist and low volume manufacturing sector who wish to collaborate on innovative, industry-led projects.

    Applicants must be able to evidence that an appropriate stage of development or technology readiness has already been achieved to meet the project entry criteria.
