Waste2Race, hydrogen-powered car fuelled by sewage is attempting to break a land speed record, driving sustainability in racing.

The University of Warwick has unveiled a £700m investment in its West Midlands campus as part of its ambitious Connect Programme.

Power Electronics Applications and Technology in Energy Research at Warwick University have installed and commissioned an ESPEC ARS060680 fast-rate environmental test chamber from Unitemp. The Power electronics team (PEATER) in the School of Engineering at Warwick is led by Professor Phil Mawby.

The use of low speed automated driving systems can contribute to reduction of congestion and carbon emissions all over the world, however the enrolment of such systems has been hampered by the lack of safety standards, until now; as an international group of experts led by WMG, University of Warwick working as part of an ISO technical committee have published the first international safety standard for level 4 automated driving systems.

Researchers in WMG at the University of Warwick, in collaboration with Imperial College London, have found a way to enhance hybrid flow batteries and their commercial use. The new approach can store electricity in these batteries for very long durations for about a fifth the price of current technologies, with minimal location restraints and zero emissions.

The Government released a call for evidence for the safe use of Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS) in August this year ready for Spring 2021. ALKS would mean drivers could use a conditionally automated system that can take over control of the vehicle at low speeds, keeping it in lane on motorways.

Lotus has announced a dedicated and specialist advanced technology centre, which will also be home to a new headquarters for the company’s engineering consultancy. Located on the University of Warwick’s Wellesbourne Campus, the new facility is established in partnership with WMG at the University of Warwick.

Thanks to a seven year UKRI Future Leader Fellowship, awarded to Dr Siddartha Khastgir, worth £1.2m, autonomous vehicle safety will be tested by researchers at WMG, the University of Warwick.

Aircraft location broadcasts used to aid air traffic control could also provide rapid estimates of aviation’s contribution to the economy, new research finds.

HRH The Prince of Wales has officially opened one of Europe’s largest automotive research and development facilities, the National Automotive Innovation Centre (NAIC), at the University of Warwick, in Coventry. Advanced researchers, engineers and designers based at the Centre are tackling society’s largest mobility challenges and collectively shaping the future of the global automotive industry from the heart of the United Kingdom.

Services for homeless people could be improved greatly through the use of data science, thanks to the UK’s inaugural 12-week Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) programme. 

  A future of self-driving vehicles enabled by the latest high speed 5G mobile technology is to be investigated by the University of Warwick thanks to the installation of state of the art test equipment. The first over-the-air 5G New Radio standard-compliant test user equipment in Europe has been homed at WMG, University of Warwick. 

Engineers at the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick have developed and installed a new, robotic measuring system, capable of accurately and repeatedly measuring large objects on the production line, such as car body-shells, in a fraction of the time traditionally taken to measure them on Co-ordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs).

5G will be available across the entire UK as black-spots are being identified by researchers at the School of Engineering, University of Warwick. The project COCKPIT-5G has won a £210,000 grant from Innovate UK, once they’ve identified black-spots they can enhance connectivity for businesses, AI (Artificial Intelligence), driverless cars and manufacturing.

WMG at the University of Warwick have begun work with a consortium of 11 organisations lead by Latent Logic in Oxford on a £2.7m UK government funded project to create a highly accurate virtual reality simulator environment, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) trained models of pedestrians and road users, to test connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs).

Researchers in WMG at the University of Warwick have set a new 5G communications speed record to a 'Level 4' low speed autonomous vehicle in the pioneer 28GHz millimetre wave band. They hit 2.867GBs per second in over-the-air transmissions, which is nearly 40 times faster than current fixed line broadband speeds. It is equivalent to sending a detailed satellite navigation map of the United Kingdom within a single second, or the full contents of a...

A research team led by astronomers at the University of Warwick had to wait over 100 days for the sight of the first of confirmed neutron star merger to re-emerge from behind the glare of the sun. They were rewarded with the first confirmed visual sighting of a jet of material that was still streaming out from merged star exactly 110 days after that initial cataclysmic merger event was first observed. Their observations confirm a key predict...

  Midlands Future Mobility will use over 50 miles of Coventry and Birmingham roads to establish the Midlands as a world class UK centre for the development, and evaluation of, Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) and related technologies and services.

Researchers at WMG at the University of Warwick have developed a new direct, precise test of Lithium-ion batteries’ internal temperatures and their electrodes potentials and found that the batteries can be safely charged up to five times faster than the current recommended charging limits. The new technology works in-situ during a battery’s normal operation without impeding its performance and it has been tested on standard commercial...

  The emergence of Type 2 Diabetes could be more effectively monitored using our Google searches - helping public health officials keep track of the disease and halt its spread - according to research by the University of Warwick.
