The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV), the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Innovate UK are to launch further funding in support of innovation, research and development in the Automotive Industry.


The 13th edition of the Integrated Delivery Programme (IDP13) will be launched in September. The focus of the funding is to enable industry-led research into vehicle technology to deliver real world emissions savings.

Support Industry led research and development projects is being sought for on-board vehicle technology that reduces vehicle emissions. Projects should prove out their concept by circa 2020. It is expected that projects having demonstrated technical and commercial feasibility can then move forward to target vehicle programmes for circa 2025.

The IDP series of competitions have been running for nine years and have supported nearly 200 projects with over £175 million of grants to date.
