About CASE
Vehicle Technology Research CentreCurrent vehicle technology is transiting towards Connectivity, Autonomy, Sharing and Electrification (CASE). Future cars will be connected via V2X and one connected car will send over 25 gigabytes of data to the cloud every hour as reported. Autonomous driving systems are fundamentally changing the traditional control mode and it is believed that within 10 years many vehicles will become fully autonomous. Sharing and subscription models are under development and OEMs are looking to position themselves as fleet owners. It is envisaged that hybrid and electric vehicles will be the immediate steps, ultimately powered by hydrogen. We need to increase interaction more than ever with colleagues from different disciplines, both within as well as outside the University, to advance the research and development of CASE vehicle technology.
More than 20 Principal Investigators in this centre are research pillars in different disciplinary areas in UK automotive academia-led scientific and engineering fields.
