Unipart joins £11-million power electronics and electric motor initiative – Charged EVs

Unipart Manufacturing is participating in Project PULSE (Power electronics Upscale for Localization and Sustainable Electrification), an £11-million ($14.5-million) initiative funded by the UK government through the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC).

The project, led by Protean Electric, brings together five industrial partners and two leading universities—Coventry University and Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) —to industrialize the assembly and manufacture of inverters and converters in the UK.

As a consortium partner, Unipart will establish flexible power electronics manufacturing capability at its manufacturing site in Coventry. The facility will support the development and production of high-power DC-DC converters and inverters using advanced vision systems, flow management, and end-of-line testing to enhance efficiency and quality.

“By collaborating with Protean, Viritech, and our academic partners, we’re not just expanding our capabilities, we’re also playing a role in establishing a sustainable and resilient domestic supply chain for power electronics,” said Andy Davis, Business Development Director of Unipart Manufacturing.
