Protean Electric, a manufacturer of in-wheel motors for electric vehicles (EVs), has announced the launch of Project PULSE (Power Electronics Upscale for Localization and Sustainable Electrification), an £11 million ($15 million) initiative funded by the UK government’s Advanced Propulsion Center (APC). The project aims to scale up the UK’s production capabilities for in-wheel power electronics, focusing on inverters and converters that are critical to (EV) technology.
