Citroen are to bring back the 2CV as an EV in 2028.

The new electric 2CV has been announced with a target price under £15,000, with a target weight somewhere between 750 and 900kg (which, for an EV, would be impressive).

This is what caught our eye as engineers - creating an affordable and lightweight EV is probably harder than engineering an expensive one.

Every feature added like a bigger battery, powered seats, or a larger screen pushes the price up and the range down.

We understand only too well that lightweight EV engineering means making deliberate choices and balancing everything - cost, performance, user experience and styling.

The brief becomes "What does this vehicle need to do, at what price point, and what can be tweaked without compromising either of those things?

That's a tougher challenge than just "make it fast."

The original 2CV was a lesson engineering to a constraint - we know the electric version will need to be too and we look forward to seeing how they get on.

The SMMT posted a huge number last month - £4.6 billion.

That's the boost to UK domestic manufacturing available by 2030, if the industry moves fast enough to capture it.

Demand for UK-sourced automotive parts is projected to rise by 80%.

And demand specifically for electric motors, power electronics and drive systems is forecast to be up more than 350% by the end of the decade.

SMMT Chief Executive Mike Hawes was clear about it:
"We have the skills, the innovation and the industrial base built on the billions already invested into Britain by global brands."

The opportunity is real, but the question is which engineering businesses are positioned to deliver it...

We believe it will be the ones who are already developing EV drivetrains, prototyping components, and moving programmes from concept to production.

We're one of those very businesses.

The manufacturers who succeed will be partnering with UK-based companies to tap into the knowledge we've built over years.

If you're working on EV or advanced automotive projects and want an experienced UK engineering partner, let's talk.

The UK ZEV mandate requires 80% of new cars sold to be zero emission by 2030 - a target that is now four years away.

Mike Hawes, Chief Executive of the SMMT, recently said "I do not know of anyone in the industry who thinks we will get to 80% of ZEVs by 2030."

The mandate hasn't changed but the assumptions it was built on have.

Battery costs are running around 30% higher than 2021 projections and industrial energy costs are up 80%. The engineering challenge was always going to be hard, but the commercial reality has made it harder.

The important work now is solving the real engineering problems, drivetrain efficiency, thermal management, platform cost reduction - not waiting for the market to sort itself out.

We work with businesses across the EV sector to help solve exactly these problems.

For larger organisations, we can support development programmes without touching the main production process, slotting in as a specialist resource alongside existing teams.

For smaller businesses, we bring decades of EV engineering experience they can draw on without having to build it themselves.

The mandate may be under review according to the SMMT, but the engineering work isn't going anywhere.

Get in touch with us today for support.

In engineering, the same mistake costs very different amounts depending on when you catch it.

Spot an issue during a feasibility study? It's a conversation and a revised drawing.

Catch it in simulation? It's a few hours of analysis and a model update.

Find it in a physical prototype? It's rework and lost time, but still recoverable.

But discover it in production?

Now you're looking at scrapped tooling, delayed programmes and the kind of costs that nobody budgeted for.

That's where feasibility studies and planning are key.

We always invest time at the front end of every project, asking the hard questions early, running the analysis before anything is built and testing assumptions before they become expensive commitments.

If you're at the start of a project and want a team who'll help you get the important decisions right early, drop us a message.

A problem with a design can seem obvious with hindsight.

But how do you prevent that mistake from ending up in production?

This is where virtual simulation and real-life prototyping work hand in hand.

Taking the time to truly test a product before rushing to production is key - and it's how we save our customers time, money and problems in the long run.

Want to know more about our prototyping service? Get in touch or type 'prototype' in the comments.

Do you know the expression "too many cooks..."?

When it comes to engineering projects, it's often the case that multiple specialist firms are used.

That leads to miscommunication, delays and - ultimately - a coordination headache for you.

One of the things we're most proud of is the breadth of the skillset in our team and the range of services that we can provide.

As a client, it gives you visibility, continuity, a streamlined programme and access to specific skills and knowledge.

It also means you can push on with a project without worrying about overhead and ever-increasing component costs.

We'd love to work with you on your next project - just get in touch.

Reverse engineering often gets seen as a last resort, but it can be one of the most practical and versatile services available.

Here are four ways it delivers real value for our clients:

⚙️ Legacy maintenance
When original manufacturers disappear or drawings are lost, critical parts can become impossible to source. Reverse engineering brings them back to life, keeping operations running without costly system replacements.

⚙️ Product improvement
If a component keeps failing, there is a reason. By analysing the design, materials and performance, reverse engineering helps refine and strengthen parts for better durability and efficiency.

⚙️ Competitive analysis
Understanding how other products are designed can reveal new ideas, performance tweaks and smarter ways of doing things. It's an effective way of learning (not copying).

⚙️ Digital archiving
Physical parts don't last forever so creating accurate digital models builds a permanent record that protects knowledge and helps future manufacture.

If any of these sound familiar, get in touch.

Digital prototypes are great for visualising a product - but sometimes, there's no substitute for a PHYSICAL prototype.

They give instant, tangible feedback, helping stakeholders get buy-in quicker.

They allow an instant 'gut-feel' response as well as allowing more rigorous and accurate testing.

We understand the benefits of both and when a physical prototype is more appropriate.

If you're working on a project, drop us a message and we can tell you how best to prototype it.

Happy St Patrick’s Day everyone! ☘️

Did you know St Patrick is known as the patron saint of engineers?

Legend has it that his work in Ireland involved everything from early building projects to water systems and practical problem solving.

So today we’ll raise a glass not just to Ireland, but to engineers everywhere.

The people who keep the motors running, the machines turning and the systems working exactly as they should.
