As part of a £74m investment in green automotive technology, more than 200 value-added jobs could be created in Sheffield thanks to a partnership between an electric automotive drives manufacturer and the University of Sheffield’s AMRC.

Funding has been awarded to Magtec to allow it to scale up the UK production of electric motors. Magtec will work with the AMRC and fellow HVM Catapult centre, the MTC, in the £6m project. Four transport sector OEMs will also participate – Dennis Eagle, Paneltex, Volta Trucks and strategic partner Angel Trains.
