MERIDIAN WELCOMES £51M UK SELF-DRIVING VEHICLE INVESTMENT
Meridian welcomes the announcement from government today, that it has awarded £51 million funding for four consortia to develop the UK’s connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) testing capabilities.
This is the first investment by government and industry through Meridian to develop a coordinated national platform of CAV testing infrastructure. Funding has been awarded to consortia led by HORIBA MIRA, Millbrook, TRL and Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG). It will be used to enhance the organisations’ testing facilities and together will help to position the UK as a global hub for CAV development in a market predicted to be worth £51 billion* by 2020.
Projects focus on moving the industry from virtual computer simulation to real world testing, and include the construction of a new high-speed testing facility in Nuneaton, Warwickshire to semi-controlled environment in Culham, Oxfordshire, and real-life public testing in Birmingham, Coventry and London.
MERIDIAN LAUNCHES TODAY TO PROVIDE FUNDING AND ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONNECTED AND AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
Today, at the Low-Carbon Vehicle Show – LCV17 – marks the official launch of Meridian, the Intelligent Mobility Accelerator, established to support further innovation in the development of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV).
Meridian will bring together established UK-leading start-ups, OEMs and SMEs from a number of industries to encourage cross-sector collaboration – including, Artificial Intelligence, Insurance, Legal, Telecommunications, Gaming, Mobility and the Financial Services Sectors – to pitch their CAV innovations and visions in exchange for technical and financial support.
By bringing together these different industries, Meridian – which is a partnership between CCAV, Automotive Council and Advanced Propulsion Centre – will create one of the world’s most efficient CAV communities that will aim to bridge any gaps in supply chain and elevate the UK’s strengths in CAV testing and development. This will help to enable the UK to become globally competitive and attract further foreign direct investment.
