Brief Description of Requirement
This work is to produce a written report, using a mix of desk research and stakeholder interviews, on the UK Electric Motors supply chain capability.
The scope includes all electric motors manufactured in the UK, and their supply chain.
• The focus is on motor manufacturing, but would also include significant component/material suppliers and providers of specialist production equipment. This would include the manufacture of power electronic assemblies essential for motor operation.
• The scope includes any significant production focussed Research capability in Universities, or other research organisations.
• The scope includes equipment manufacturers who create their own motors for integration into their own equipment only.
• The focus is on newer designs of motor, but for completeness more traditional types should also be included just sufficiently to give the overall context. On this basis, a nominal power range of 20W - 2MW is suggested.
• The scope excludes systems integrators and manufacturers of Power electronic components.
While a quantitative overview is an important part of the work, its also important to develop a clear narrative about the sector. Accordingly, it is anticipated that the mix of research should be more heavily weighted towards stakeholder interviews, rather than desk based research.
