APCUK: ARMD4 Advanced Route to Market Demonstrator 4

Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, will work with the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC) and the automotive industry and academia, to invest up to £25 million of DBT grant funding in the Advanced Route to Market Demonstrator 4 (ARMD4) competition.

The aim of this competition is to develop a product or process demonstrator, to enable increased capability, and create commercial exploitation opportunities as a result of the project. The project will develop future zero emission technology as a key element in the UK’s transition to a zero emission automotive industry.

Your proposal must explain how zero emission vehicle technology development will be significantly accelerated through your project and must clearly describe how these products will be brought to market.

In applying to this competition, you are entering into a competitive process. This competition has a funding limit, so we may not be able to fund all the proposed projects. It may be the case that your project scores highly, but we are still unable to fund it. Any final decisions on the grant award will require ministerial approval.

Application deadline: 2 April 2025 11:00am. If you would like to discuss this with someone in our team please message our Sector Lead, Yuchen Gu. To apply for this funding call, please follow this link here.
