Road to COP26: Digitalisation

The Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) collaborates with UK government, the automotive industry and academia to accelerate the industrialisation of technologies, supporting the transition to deliver net-zero emission vehicles.Since its foundation in 2013, APC has funded 170 low-carbon projects involving 402 partners, working with companies of all sizes, and has helped to create or safeguard nearly 50,000 jobs in the UK. The technologies developed in these projects are projected to save over 288 million tonnes of CO2, the equivalent of removing the lifetime emissions from 12 million cars.With its deep sector expertise and cutting-edge knowledge of new propulsion technologies, APC’s role in building and advising project consortia helps projects start more quickly and deliver increased value. In the longer term, its work to drive innovation and encourage collaboration is building the foundations for a successful and sustainable UK automotive industry.In 2019 the UK government committed the Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF) to accelerate the development of a net-zero vehicle supply chain, enabling UK-based manufacturers to serve global markets. ATF investments are awarded through the APC to support strategically important UK capital and R&D investments that will enable companies involved in batteries, motors and drives, power electronics, fuel cells, recycling, and associated supply chains to anchor their future.

Digital twin:  holy grail or wholly hype? Organised by IDE discussing  how digitalisation can help to meet net-zero targets.

Creating the products that will lead the delivery of true net zero will require transformational change in the product engineering, assurance, and production process. Innovative integration across the entire product, service and infrastructure enterprise will be essential to deliver the ambitious levels of performance that customers, society, and the environmental imperative demand. Digitalisation offers an opportunity to unlock transformation of our industrial system and is a core enabler to ensuring that the UK plays a dominant role in the definition of future mobility solutions.Novel information and data management systems will open up the ability to integrate the product &amp; service enterprise across the entire value chain; essential if technology is to be exploited effectively. Digitalisation offers the potential to “democratise excellence” across the entire supply base and across our broad national industrial footprint. In this session, led by experts from the Institute of Digital Engineering, we look at one of today’s top technology trends, Digital Twins, and how it’s changing the way businesses operate, the customer experience, and its contribution to cleaner, more efficient, and safer vehicles.But what is exactly is a digital twin and how does it work? What is the link between the product creation process and servitisation? Is this the key to sustainability and future economic success, or is it just the new toy on the market?Agenda<ul><li>Welcome and Introductions: Bradley Yorke-Biggs, CEO and Professor of Practice - Institute of Digital Engineering</li><li>Overview of the Centre for the Digital Built Britain (CDBB) and National Digital Twin programme: Mark Enzer OBE, Head of National Digital Twin programme (CDBB), Chief Technical Officer at Mott MacDonald </li></ul> Panel Discussion and Q&amp;A<ul><li>Jose Garcia-Urruchi, Head of Digital Engineering Capability - Jaguar Land Rover</li><li>Peter Van Manen, Principal Consultant - Frazer-Nash Consultancy</li><li>Louise Krug, Technical Lead - BT</li><li>Mark Enzer OBE, Head of National Digital Twin programme (CDBB), Chief Technical Officer at Mott MacDonald</li><li> Michal Konicek, Director at AccuCities</li></ul> Closing remarks by Bradley Yorke-BiggsA Zoom link will be provided before the event.Interested in our other events?28 September Batteries: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/road-to-cop26-batteries-tickets-168568846959" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Are sustainable batteries a unicorn?</a> Hosted by UKBIC: how battery technology developed in UK is electrifying transport5 October Power electronics: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/road-to-cop26-power-electronics-tickets-168569613251" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">controlling the pathway to net-zero emissions</a>More to follow.
About IDE
The Institute of Digital Engineering&#x27;s vision is to establish the UK as the global leader in digital engineering. It strives to maximise the productivity of the product creation process of our partners, through the adoption of advanced digital capabilities. Focussing initially on Product Engineering in the Automotive sector, it is responsible for leading the delivery of the Automotive Council Digital Roadmap in Engineering.
IDE operates as a ‘virtual’ Institute, enabling and activating a national portfolio of industry relevant projects developing digital solutions to real UK competitive inhibitors.
IDE is funded by the Department for Business, Environment &amp; Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and an intrinsic part of the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) Digital Engineering Spoke and Loughborough University.
