OPEN VENTILATOR SYSTEMS INITIATIVE
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Prodrive took an original concept from Cambridge University's Whittle Laboratory and in just five weeks turned it into a full working prototype ready for production.
With components from outside the medial supply chain, it can be brought to market far quicker and cheaper than the current range of commercially available ventilators. Prodrive also developed electronic and software designs from scratch.
Recognising exceptional examples of engineering in the service of society in the context of pandemic challenges, the project has received The President's Special Award for Pandemic Service from the Royal Academy Of Engineering.
