SMP Europe boosts EV parts R&D

25 August 2022  

SMP Europe is upping its investment into EV parts R&D, with a view to increasing is EV parts coverage.

With this in mind, the company has opened a new garage facility within its Nottingham-based UK Centre of Engineering where electric vehicles can be stripped so the company can undertake research and then go onto develop new parts.

SMP Europe Engineering Director John Wass observed: “The new facility enables the wider engineering team to investigate EVs and research how certain systems perform. Our new garage facility can find faults with standard equipment and utilise this new knowledge to develop more robust references for the ever-expanding cohort of EVs within the UK vehicle parc.”

Following the introduction of the new garage facility, SMP Europe will soon be offering technical training on electric vehicles, with participants able to complete work to Level 3 certification.
