Anyone who wants to design the electric cars of the future should be excited by the upcoming launch of a new £10m research centre dedicated to low-carbon vehicles.
Ricardo has helped develop many low-carbon vehicles including the McLaren P1 hybrid.
Engineering consultancy Ricardo, which specialises in the automotive and niche manufacturing sectors, is preparing to open the new centre by the middle of 2015 as a place to design and test the latest propulsion technology.
‘The new facility will enable us to take on more projects and that will mean new graduate roles,’ Ricardo’s recruitment officer, Caroline Duffy, told The Engineer.
