I am a graduate engineer in the advanced research department and we look at future technology and how it can be used effectively in vehicle systems. Hybrid vehicles are a stepping stone towards a fully electrified vehicle, we need these to replace conventional vehicles which are responsible for around 15-30% of the worlds greenhouse gas emissions.

My Typical Day:
It varies greatly- from designing prototype vehicles and then testing them on the track, to meetings with seniors discussing potential future projects.

When a senior manager asks us to research a certain technology, we look first at what the customer requires and then look at how each system can provide these customer expectations. A hybrid car needs to feel like a normal car and needs to perform like one too otherwise nobody would want one! We make many prototypes before we finalise the design to ensure the vehicle is perfect.
