Ricardo and Lightning eMotors, a leading provider of medium duty commercial electric vehicles for fleets, today announced they have entered into a strategic partnership agreement to deploy vehicles in the UK, a market with over 700,000 commercial vehicles in operation today.

Ricardo will apply its expertise in battery, power electronics and motor R&D to deliver technologies for electric trucks which will drive down the cost and increase the range of future commercial vehicles.

Ricardo expertise in predicting and monitoring air quality and vehicle fleet performance will enable transport authorities to evaluate the impacts of mobility services and implement effective clean air zones in towns and cities.

Ricardo’s world-leading expertise in electrification engineering will support the South Korean manufacturer’s objective to accelerate the development of critical power electronics for electric vehicles to help facilitate their wide-scale adoption.

As part of its mission to support the decarbonisation of the global transport and energy sectors Ricardo, a world-class environmental, engineering and strategic consulting company, has announced that it has received Government funding to create a retrofit hydrogen fuel cell bus demonstrator for the UK’s first hydrogen transport hub in the north-east of England.

Carbon, capacity, cost and customer experience – these are four of the drivers for change within the urban mobility sector.

Experts from global energy and environment consultancy Ricardo are leading an international consortium to support the Mexican Government’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the freight sector.
