Lotus Engineering: Steve Doyle, Chief Engineer-Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Integration.
Lotus Cars are currently providing design help to Tesla Motors to develop the new Tesla Roadster. It's a fully electric sports car, the first car produced by Tesla. The car can travel 244 mi (393 km) on a single charge of its lithium-ion battery pack and accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.9 seconds. You can read more about it on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Roadster
Technology Strategy Board: Heidi Lovelock, Head of Innovation Platforms.
The concept behind the Technology Strategy Board's Innovation Platforms was to pull together policy, business, government procurement and research perspectives and resources to generate innovative solutions to these kinds of problems and make a real difference. One of these, the Low Carbon Vehicle Innovation Platform, has £23 million of Government funding to invest in companies to take forward research, development and demonstration projects in the UK. Heidi will be talking about the Technology Strategy Board and the Innovation Platforms, with emphasis on the Low Carbon Vehicle Innovation Platform in particular.
