Commenting on the announcement made by the UK Government's Technology Strategy Board (TSB), and a consortium of selected vehicle manufacturers and suppliers led by Jaguar Land Rover, THINK CEO Richard Canny said:

"We are very proud to have been chosen to play such a vital role in this pioneering project, and to sit alongside such auto industry and technological leaders.  THINK has been chosen for its experience and pioneering developments in the electric vehicle industry, perfected over nearly two decades and 30 million miles of real world knowledge of EVs being driven by our customers.”

He added: “The timing is perfect for THINK, as we have just delivered the world’s most advanced commercially available drive-train in our fourth-generation controller and we are about to start on the next, fifth-generation of the technology.  Now we can do this among more of the best engineers in the world and with the backing of the UK Government – which should provide the perfect environment to take this industry and its technologies to the next level.”
