The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) is the UK’s national battery development facility providing manufacturing scale-up and skills for the battery sector.

UKBIC helps companies develop battery manufacturing processes at the scale needed to move to industrial production. Opened in July 2021, the £130 million facility bridges the gap between battery research and successful mass production, and helps companies to scale and commercialise their technologies. Construction has also begun on new facilities designed to support smaller innovation projects for high-tech developers and users of battery technologies, with a further £74m committed during 2023. It’s also where companies can send employees to undergo training in battery manufacturing.

Based in Coventry, West Midlands, UK, the facility welcomes manufacturers, entrepreneurs, researchers and educators, and can be accessed by any organisation with new or existing Li-ion based or compatible battery technologies.

The V-CAL project, based in Sunderland, has been awarded £4 million from the government’s £42 million Commercialising Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) competition through the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV).

V-CAL will build upon the Department for Digital Culture Media & Sport (DCMS) funded 5G CAL project, which delivered a working proof-of-concept (PoC) demonstration of the autonomous and teleoperation of a 40-tonne truck, with live loads delivered from Vantec to Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK (NMUK) fully autonomously without intervention by a safety driver.

The trail-blazing project will scale the deployment on the initial PoC into actual operational conditions and also expand into alternative, more complex routes, which build scale, reliability, and consistency of operation. It will run up to four zero-emission autonomous HGVs around the Nissan Sunderland site, on a private roads, where the vehicles will navigate traffic lights, roundabouts, and other road users  – a significant step towards deploying the technology on public roads.

V-CAL, led by the NEAA, in partnership with Vantec, NMUK, StreetDrone, Nokia, Newcastle University, Angoka, BP and Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP, has the opportunity to unlock the enormous potential for scalable CAL commercial offerings, ready for the UK market.
