Hypermotive catapulted into manufacturing scale-up!

Hypermotive (HM) are delighted to announce the award of a place on the start-up to scale-up pilot programme. The programme offers packages of support from The High Value Manufacturing Catapult centres for UK automotive innovators, helping them create solid production scale-up plans, reducing risk and investment.
As part of the pilot programme Hypermotive has secured up to £200,000 of funded support to help them scale up their manufacturing capability and capacity.
The programme provides Hypermotive with access to the MTC – Manufacturing Technology Centre team of manufacturing experts and their world-class tools, processes and facilities. The focus of the programme is to support Hypermotive’s growth and scale-up in the manufacturing of advanced high voltage power electronics (DC-DC) and power distribution (PDU). Hypermotive will be accessing support from MTC to improve production planning, design for manufacture and assembly (DFM/DFA), process development, QA/QC, supply chain development, and upskilling of the manufacturing team.
MTC is also helping Hypermotive with scenario planning, facility layout and capital investment decisions to accelerate Hypermotive plans for manufacturing facilities and capacity expansion.
The six month programme coincides with Hypermotive ramping production volumes on a number of automotive tier 1 manufacturing programmes for high-performance PDU and DC-DC products plus the launch into production of their own fuel cell integration products including H-Store® (hydrogen systems controller), H-Interface® (fuel cell systems interface) and H-Filter® (Single and three-phase EMC filter).
The programme will strengthen the UK’s electrification supply chain and reinforce Hypermotive’s position as the go-to tier 1 for e-mobility sectors and help deliver electrification and hydrogen integration and power system technologies at the forefront of technology.
