Competition providing a platform for collaborative R&D for organisations active in the UK niche and zero emission vehicle technology sector.

The Niche Vehicle Network Production Readiness Competition 2023 is now open for applications. Funded by the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), supported by Innovate UK and delivered by the Niche Vehicle Network in conjunction with Cenex, this competition provides a platform for collaborative research and development (R&D) for organisations active in the United Kingdom niche and zero emission 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. For Production Readiness projects the consortium should already have demonstrated the concept at first mule or prototype level and are now aiming to take it towards a production-intent level, including demonstration on a zero emission UK niche vehicle.
