IAAPS, the University of Bath’s new state-of-the-art facility which develops clean, sustainable and affordable technologies to support the transport industry in the transition to net zero, was officially launched, the University of Bath said.
The exclusive event was held at the new 11,300 sqm IAAPS facility at the Bristol & Bath Science Park.
IAAPS builds on over four decades of advanced propulsion system expertise at the University of Bath, working in collaboration with industry and academia to deliver transformational research into cleaner, smarter engines, powertrains and driver technologies. The centre has recently seen further multi-million-pound investment in pioneering hydrogen research and testing capabilities, including the installation of a green hydrogen manufacturing plant – the first of its kind in the South West of England – as well as a closed loop cryogenic helium system.
Once fully scaled, it is projected that IAAPS will stimulate £67m in additional R&D investment within five years of opening and drive an additional turnover of £800m within the UK automotive sector alone, as well as contribute £221m in additional Gross Value Added for the UK economy.
