Research and Development – at the heart of our businessRead more

Our commitment to constant Research and Development into hybrid and electric technology development and alternative fuel vehicles is what makes Ashwoods a market leader.

Allowing us to take this even further, we’re delighted to announce that we’ve recently been awarded a three-year grant funding programme by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) to enable us to develop even more advanced and efficient systems for Hybrid and Electric vehicles.

The Technology Strategy Board funding is part of the £10million Low Carbon Vehicles Innovation Platform. This is aimed at bringing expert groups together to collaborate on highly innovative research projects in the field of ultra-efficient electrical vehicle systems.

Citroen UK, LifeBATT and Sevcon are joined by Ashwoods as the consortium’s project leader, and have been brought together to develop an ultra-advanced electric power system, scalable from 25kw up to 150kw.

The solution is being designed for a wide range of applications – from mild hybrid ancillaries to larger, fully electric vehicle drive trains. Ashwoods plans to begin roll-out of their final designs across their commercial vehicle range towards the end of 2010.

Award winning hybrid technologyRead more

Proven to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel cost by a minimum of 15%, Ashwoods Hybrid Drive is an advanced, patented solution designed for rear-wheel drive commercial vehicles.

Inspired by Formula 1’s KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems), Hybrid Drive recovers the kinetic energy usually wasted through braking and deceleration – instead using it for battery charge. Formula 1 uses this recovered energy for additional power. Ashwoods uses it to assist the engine – lowering the loading and the resulting fuel consumption.
