ADL will focus initially on the introduction of the low emission technology to bus fleets in London and Oxford but anticipates rapid deployment across the UK in the next few years. The electric flywheel technology is particularly suited to applications that demand high symmetric power transmission at continuous cyclic duty cycle.

Researchers in Sweden are exploring the use of carbon fiber as an active electrode in a multifunctional structural Li-ion battery in an electric car; i.e., electrical storage is incorporated into the body of the car. This can result in a weight reduction for electric vehicles. (Photo: Peter Larsson) Click to enlarge.

Researchers from Imperial College London and their European partners, including Volvo Car Corporation, are developing a prototype multifunctional structural composite material composed of carbon fibers and a polymer resin which can store and discharge electrical energy and which is also strong and lightweight enough to be used for car parts.

A decade ago it became possible to get your electricity in the UK from a department store chain (though with the actual power supplied first by a Scottish utility and— as of 2018 —arranged and managed by Octopus Energy). Harmony Energy seems pretty pleased. That would be something to reckon with.

The UK Centre for Low Carbon Futures published a multi-partner research report— Liquid Air in the energy and transport systems: Opportunities for industry and innovation in the UK —and presented the results at a a conference at the Royal Academy of Engineering in London. Compressed air engines (e.g.,

Freight Bus was one of the losing entrants in London mayor Boris Johnson’scompetition to design a new bus for the capital. Only when we have an efficient method of electricity storage will the electric car/van/bus become a viable proposition. So the car uses an electrical store to power the drive motor.
