We understand that every project is unique. Here's an overview of our core competencies to get the conversation started:
Electrical Machine Design
Hardware Prototyping
We assemble small batches of eMachines for prototype evaluation, mule vehicle tests and niche applications.
Manufacturing Engineering
By applying our hands-on production experience, we help improve manufacturing costs and control quality.
Analysis and Optimisation
Our proprietary analysis and optimisation tools help customers understand and improve their eMachines.
Benchmarking and Characterisation
We help our customers to plan effective development programmes by benchmarking their technology against the best in the market.
Electrical Integration and Control
We develop cutting-edge eDrive products for our customers using a systems-based approach.
Mechanical Design and Integration
Our team integrates eMachines into every part of the vehicle driveline, plus a wide variety of static applications.
Testing and Validation
From characterisation to automotive DVP&R, we provide expert test support throughout the development process.
In order to maintain transparency and provide the best possible service, we always collaborate closely with our customers to develop detailed specifications and timing plans before starting work. Our robust automotive project management and quality systems allow us to communicate effectively with our customers and deliver the results that they need, time-after-time. The sections below outline our core areas of competency:
Example Work Packages
Electrical Machine Design
Our team has worked on synchronous and asynchronous eMachines for a wide range of applications and industries, covering a huge range of sizes from 1.5kW to 90MW (shaft power).
By combining a suite of best-in-class commercial software with our specialist in-house development tools we ensure that all customers receive a design which has been thoroughly optimised using the latest multiphysics (electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical) analysis techniques.
As a result of our extensive analysis and
verification experience we are able to deliver
detailed, accurate simulation results to our
customers before progressing to hardware prototypes.
This capability allows us to significantly
accelerate product development times and reduce
costs for our customers, maximising their
competitive advantage.

Hardware Prototyping
Our established supply-chain and in-house assembly capability allows us to deliver custom-designed products very quickly, accelerating our customers’ development programmes and allowing them to evaluate representative hardware in record time. By drawing on our production experience we are able to develop and manufacture A-samples and B-samples which closely resemble our customers’ final production components, without the need for expensive hard-tooling. This approach helps us to identify potential production issues long before our customers proceed to off-tool components.

Get in touch!Manufacturing Engineering
Our hands-on experience with numerous manufacturing processes, supported by cutting-edge analysis and test capabilities, allows us to provide expert support for PFMEAs, Value Analysis / Value Engineering (VA/VE) projects and quality investigations (e.g. 8D).
We rely on our extensive network of component suppliers and machinery manufacturers to help customers evaluate and source the technology that differentiates their products.
Our experience of selecting and managing suppliers allows us to provide expert guidance during our customers' supplier assessment and SQA processes, both before and after nomination.

Analysis and Optimisation
Our expert team uses a suite of advanced multiphysics analysis and optimisation tools to help customers improve their eDrive systems.
Whether we're analysing a potential design change or conducting a comprehensive product re-design, we always tailor our support services to reflect the customer's particular requirements. This flexible approach helps us to ensure that our customers get to access the specific expertise that they need to achieve their development goals.
By collaborating closely with our customers' in-house teams, we also help them to minimise Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) by developing new products which can be accommodated within the capacity of their existing production equipment.

Get in touch!Benchmarking and Characterisation
Our team's benchmarking and characterisation services range from paper-based investigations (e.g. specification reviews) to physical hardware evaluation (test and disassembly). We pride ourselves in providing a tailored approach to suit each customer's needs, allowing us to deliver targeted strategic information in a cost-effective way.
Our knowledge of the rapidly-evolving eDrive market allows us to provide customers with informed, objective analysis of their competitive positions and to identify key opportunities for new product development.
We operate a strict approach to commercial and technical confidentiality in order to ensure that our customers can rely on our discretion and independence. By applying our expertise in testing and multiphysics analysis we help our customers to understand state-of-the-art technologies from first principles, equipping them to make informed decisions.

Electrical Integration and Control
Our team has decades of experience designing and specifying components for class-leading eDrive systems. By staying abreast of the latest technology in this rapidly-changing market, our experts help customers develop visionary products for the future. The efficient methods we use to develop eMachines are firmly rooted in a systems-based approach: we know that the only way to develop great components is to specify and analyse them in this context.
By working with our network of partners we can deliver full electrical- and control-systems for a wide range of applications. These partnerships allow us to offer our customers truly-optimised systems without the need for them to co-ordinate development across multiple suppliers.
We are accustomed to collaborating with inverter suppliers to tune their model- and lookup-table-based control schemes to maximise system performance. Our experience and expert analysis capabilities help us to streamline this process and minimise the dependence on hardware testing.

Get in touch!Mechanical Design and Integration
Time after time, we have delivered world-class eDrive systems which integrate eMachines with transmissions, clutches, engines, pumps and turbines. No matter the application, our customers take confidence in our team’s proven ability to deliver optimised, reliable solutions.
In collaboration with key partners we offer our customers complete hardware solutions, including bespoke eMachines, transmissions and drivelines. Through this network we can also offer OEM and Tier One customers a turn-key service for mule vehicle development. No problem is too small: we also help our customers solve complex challenges at component level, from designing composite magnet retention systems to optimising the cost and weight of structural components.

Testing and Validation
Our hands-on team draws on years of experience from the automotive, aerospace and industrial power generation sectors to plan and implement effective test programmes for our customers.
The team’s in-depth knowledge of eMachine design complements the practical skill-set that we’ve developed over the course of hundreds of eMachine tests, allowing us to help customers plan meaningful tests programmes for their products. We frequently support customers in acquiring and/or interpreting test data in order to help them validate model predictions, optimise new designs and complete product validation to full automotive standards.
Our experts understand the importance of efficient trouble-shooting and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) in the test and development environment and are ideally-placed to support customers with these time-critical activities. We apply our theoretical and practical experience to help customers define, simulate and run representative duty cycles that help them evaluate their eDrive systems' performance in dynamic applications.
