  1. The UK Automotive industry Transition through smart specialisation Dan Hodges daniel.hodges@bis.gsi.gov.uk

  2. Outline • The UK automotive industry • LCVs: opportunity through need • Government strategy • NAIGT – building a roadmap • Automotive Council – identifying technologies • (OLEV – coordination across Government) • (TSB – delivering innovation)

  3. The UK automotive industry • Worth £8.5bn value-added • 1.3m cars and 120k commercial vehicles in 2010 – 2.4% of global output & 8.7% of European assembly • Over 10% of total UK exports • 700k people directly employed • Global centre of excellence for engine development and production • Over £1.5bn annual spend on automotive R&D • R&D growth of 9% in 2009 • Strengths lie in powertrain design and production, especially engines, and vehicle design and styling

  4. The need for change • 22% of UK domestic CO2 emissions are from transport • UK’s adopted legally binding target to reduce emissions • King Review – examined technologies that could help to decarbonise road transport • Short and long term solutions needed • Opportunity for UK firms and workers to adapt and seize opportunity of global ultra-low carbon vehicles market

  5. Government response • Government recognised its role in supporting the industry through the transition. • Set up collaborative process to develop a roadmap whilst also setting out its own strategy. • Established Office for Low Emission Vehicles as coordinated Government team

  6. New Automotive Innovation & Growth Team • Launched April 2008, industry-led with facilitation and remit from Government • Objective to engage industry and produce recommendations and action plan; • Continued development & world class innovation • Anticipate, develop, adopt and embrace technological change • Retain international competitiveness • Report sets out 20 year vision & longer-term Technology Roadmap

  7. Technology Roadmap • Individual manufacturers will prioritise certain technologies to fit brand values, but OEMs share a common view of a high level Technology Roadmap • Short-term: Improvement of conventional technology • Medium- & long-term: technology shift

  8. Technology Roadmap

  9. Technology Roadmap

  10. Common Research Agenda

  11. After NAIGT – UK capability • 110 companies participate in survey and workshops to; • Map UK R&D activity, capability and readiness across short, medium & long term technology requirements • Evidence mapped to the research agenda required to deliver the Roadmap • Consensus view reached on potential for UK R&D base to deliver to the future requirements of the Roadmap

  12. Applied Rating Criteria

  13. RoI potential • Based on; • Qualitative assessment of effort required to deliver Roadmap requirements • Qualitative assessment of potential for UK benefit based on overall market value and UK value capture potential • Overall assessment of indicative RoI potential, based on effort and benefit

  14. Scorecard

  15. UK Automotive Council • UK Automotive Council established in 2009 • Establish long-term strategic framework and focus UK R&D agenda - Test Bed UK • Chaired jointly by Gov and Industry with partners from across Government • Objectives; • Create a transformed business environment • Develop further the Technology Roadmaps • Develop a stronger & more competitive supply chain • Provide a stronger public voice for the industry • Ensure a strategic, continuous conversation between Government and industry

  16. UK Automotive Council • Technology group • Technology Roadmaps & Test Bed UK • LCV infrastructure • OEM & supplier R&D • Academic partnerships • Intelligent transport system • 5 priority areas • ICE, energy storage & management, Intelligent Transport Systems, lightweight vehicle & powertrain structures, electric machines & power electronics • Supply chain group • Build consensus • Enhance dialogue • Develop vision • UK Sourcing Roadmap

  17. Conclusions • Strategic specialisation in LCVs informed by collaboration and consensus • This enabled the development of a shared vision, technology roadmap, R&D returns scoreboard, collaborative partnerships, join funding for R&D…. • Collaboration continues through Automotive Council, OLEV, TSB, Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership etc.

  18. Next steps • Need to consider areas to broaden or deepen the case study; • More detail as to the current and future work of AC • Other relevant bodies and policies; • OLEV – plug-in car grant, infrastructure, supporting manufacture and the supply chain • TSB – Low Carbon Vehicles Innovation Platform • Low carbon vehicle integrated delivery programme • Smaller stakeholders interactions with the above programme
