The Low Carbon Vehicle Technology Project is a collaboration between leading automotive companies and research partners, revolutionising the way vehicles are powered and manufactured. The project partners include Jaguar Land Rover, TATA Motors (TMETC), Ricardo, MIRA LTD. Zytek, WMG and Coventry University. The project concentrates on 15 separate technical R&D workstreams, each of which is led by a partner working closely with selected SMEs in the West Midlands region.

The £29 million project is funded in part by Advantage West Midlands and the European Regional Development Fund (£19 million) with partners contributing £10 million. The project will safeguard jobs in the supply chain as businesses switch to low carbon opportunities and make the West Midlands a global centre of excellence in low carbon vehicle engineering.
