DRIVE35 Innovation Fund: Collaborate 2

DRIVE35 (Driving Research and Investment in Vehicle Electrification) is a Department for Business and Trade led programme aimed at transforming the UK's automotive industry by supporting R&D and the commercial scale up of innovative zero emission vehicle technologies. The DRIVE35 Innovation Fund supports late-stage collaborative R&D projects that design, develop and manufacture strategically important technologies in the automotive sector. This strand supports collaborative R&D projects that design, develop and enable manufacture of technologies which target post project commercialisation. Projects must support the UK's transition to zero emission vehicles and a pathway to a net zero automotive industry, targeting TRL 7-8 or MRL 6-7 by completion. The funding aims to support growth, transition and security of the UK's automotive supply chain, increasing capability whilst improving productivity, efficiency and competitiveness.
