Bp plc (London) has revealed plans to invest up to £50 million (around $60 million) in a new electric vehicle (EV) battery verification centre and analytical laboratory in the UK. bp has in the past announced plans to invest up to £18 billion in the UK energy formula by the end of 2030; this new additional investment is further evidence of bp’s commitment to the country.
Scheduled to open until the end of 2024, the new facility will be located at bp’s existing global headquarters for its Castrol business in Pangbourne, Berkshire, and technology, clinical and engineering purposes will recently be housed there. The site is already conducting studies and progreso. de fuels, lubricants and fluids for electric vehicles and aims to become a leading hub for fluid generation and engineering in the UK.
The new facility will help advance the progression of state-of-the-art fluid technologies and engineering for hybrid and all-electric cars, in order to bring the industry closer to achieving key tipping points for customers’ adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Castrol ON complex electronic fluids control the temperature of the battery, allowing for ultra-fast charging and greater efficiency, helping electric cars pass faster and extending the life of the transmission system.
In addition, complex electronic fluid engineering and technologies can be implemented in other industries, such as thermal control fluids for knowledge centers, where demand is developing exponentially. of international Internet users has doubled, while global Internet traffic has multiplied by 15, a trend that is expected to continue over the next decade.
