Championing Improving Lives through Engineering.

Today, 2 November 2022, National Engineering Day, SC Group is proud to celebrate, Improving Lives through Engineering!

The organisation has over 40 years’ experience in automotive design, engineering and manufacturing, working across many sectors; working on local infrastructure projects to off-road vehicles; and designing innovation solutions for a variety of well-known brands: RNLI, Prestigious Car Co., Conquering Horizons, Fred Olsen, HPC plus so many more.

SC Group is contributing to the South West by boosting the region’s engineering capacity, thus enabling a number of projects to be released with the support of our local supply chain, and directly benefiting the economy and employment. With over 26% of the adult population employed in the UK’s engineering profession, SC Group id delighted it is contributing to the 8.1m people employed in the engineering field.

Did you know that over the next 30 years the demand for engineers is expected to grow significantly as a result of increasingly complex and urgent global challenges and rapid technological developments? With a key challenge to drive down carbon emissions by 2035; clean energy is a priority for SC Group, demonstrated by SC’s Matt Harvey, Design Engineering winning the KTP Project 2022 for Electric Off Road Vehicle in-conjunction with University of Exeter and Innovate UK.

With research telling us that the younger generation is pursuing a career that is going to positively impact people’s lives, then with SC’s engineering vision to deliver innovations that seek to ‘Protect Lives and Protect the Planet’, the organisation is confident it will attract those people who have a similar vision; to make the world better for all.

Electric Vehicle Demonstration at Weston-super-Mare Beachfront

The SC Innovation demonstration proved the prototype e-ATMP’s towing capability conveying a D-Class boat over the pebble beach in both crewed and teleoperated modes. The 6×6 vehicle can tow a range of small boats – the base vehicle for e-ATMP is the company’s All-Terrain Mobility Platform (ATMP) `workhorse`, capable of hauling payloads up to 1600kg over demanding terrain.

e-ATMP offers a variety of low carbon options, from battery electric to hybrid power for extended range. It uses a common hybrid electric drivetrain with six electric motors attached to each wheel, each of which can be customised through different powering options depending on the task, range, payload and operating environment.

The prototype e-ATMP is the product of an Innovate UK-supported Knowledge Transfer Partnership between Devon based SC Innovation and The University of Exeter to develop electric drive for off highway and teleoperated vehicles.

The RNLI is collaborating with a broad range of organisations to support the development of alternatives to fossil fuelled vehicles and vessels as part of its Sustainable Decarbonisation Plan and to ensure that it is well prepared for future capability requirements.

SC Innovation previously collaborated with the RNLI to jointly develop the Shannon Class Launch & Recovery Vehicle.

Toby Cox, SC Innovation, said: “Following the trial at RNLI Weston super Mare, we believe the e-ATMP’s versatility, the electric drive train and teleoperation capability offer a fully rounded boat towing solution for a variety of conditions, and acts as a spring board for developing a carbon neutral small craft launch and recovery capability”.
