Outline
• The UK automotive industry• LCVs: opportunity through need• Government strategy• NAIGT – building a roadmap• Automotive Council – identifying technologies• (OLEV – coordination across Government)• (TSB – delivering innovation)

The UK automotive industry
• Worth £8.5bn value-added • 1.3m cars and 120k commercial vehicles in 2010 – 2.4%
of global output & 8.7% of European assembly • Over 10% of total UK exports • 700k people directly employed • Global centre of excellence for engine development and
production• Over £1.5bn annual spend on automotive R&D• R&D growth of 9% in 2009• Strengths lie in powertrain design and production,
especially engines, and vehicle design and styling
4
The need for change• 22% of UK domestic CO2 emissions are from transport
• UK’s adopted legally binding target to reduce emissions
• King Review – examined technologies that could help to decarbonise road transport
• Short and long term solutions needed
• Opportunity for UK firms and workers to adapt and seize opportunity of global ultra-low carbon vehicles market
5
Government response
• Government recognised its role in supporting the industry through the transition.
• Set up collaborative process to develop a roadmap whilst also setting out its own strategy.
• Established Office for Low Emission Vehicles as coordinated Government team
6
New Automotive Innovation & Growth Team• Launched April 2008, industry-led with facilitation and
remit from Government
• Objective to engage industry and produce recommendations and action plan;– Continued development & world class
innovation– Anticipate, develop, adopt and embrace
technological change– Retain international competitiveness
• Report sets out 20 year vision & longer-term Technology Roadmap
7
Technology Roadmap
• Individual manufacturers will prioritise certain technologies to fit brand values, but OEMs share a common view of a high level Technology Roadmap
• Short-term: Improvement of conventional technology
• Medium- & long-term: technology shift

Common Research Agenda
11
After NAIGT – UK capability
• 110 companies participate in survey and workshops to;– Map UK R&D activity, capability and readiness across
short, medium & long term technology requirements
• Evidence mapped to the research agenda required to deliver the Roadmap
• Consensus view reached on potential for UK R&D base to deliver to the future requirements of the Roadmap
12
Applied Rating Criteria
13
RoI potential
• Based on;– Qualitative assessment of effort required to deliver
Roadmap requirements
– Qualitative assessment of potential for UK benefit based on overall market value and UK value capture potential
– Overall assessment of indicative RoI potential, based on effort and benefit

Scorecard
15
UK Automotive Council• UK Automotive Council established in 2009• Establish long-term strategic framework and focus UK
R&D agenda - Test Bed UK• Chaired jointly by Gov and Industry with partners from
across Government • Objectives;
– Create a transformed business environment– Develop further the Technology Roadmaps– Develop a stronger & more competitive supply chain– Provide a stronger public voice for the industry– Ensure a strategic, continuous conversation between
Government and industry
16
UK Automotive Council• Supply chain group
– Build consensus
– Enhance dialogue
– Develop vision
• UK Sourcing Roadmap
• Technology group– Technology Roadmaps & Test
Bed UK
– LCV infrastructure
– OEM & supplier R&D
– Academic partnerships
– Intelligent transport system
• 5 priority areas– ICE, energy storage &
management, Intelligent Transport Systems, lightweight vehicle & powertrain structures, electric machines & power electronics
17
Conclusions
• Strategic specialisation in LCVs informed by collaboration and consensus
• This enabled the development of a shared vision, technology roadmap, R&D returns scoreboard, collaborative partnerships, join funding for R&D….
• Collaboration continues through Automotive Council, OLEV, TSB, Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership etc.
18
Next steps
• Need to consider areas to broaden or deepen the case study;– More detail as to the current and future work of AC
– Other relevant bodies and policies;• OLEV – plug-in car grant, infrastructure, supporting
manufacture and the supply chain• TSB – Low Carbon Vehicles Innovation Platform• Low carbon vehicle integrated delivery programme• Smaller stakeholders interactions with the above
