CASE STUDIES
8x8 MILITARY VEHICLE
A programme, to investigate and develop a chassis /suspension system for military vehicles that require a paradigm shift in capability to meet future generation platform targets, was completed in just 78 days.

AMERICA'S CUP YACHT
We developed all the control systems for the Land Rover BAR America's Cup yacht. Our hydraulic systems controlled the foils, enabling Sir Ben Ainslie to precisely balance the boat to optimise its performance.

CLEARMOTION
In order for ClearMotion's active suspension technology to be fitted to various OEMs’ models as demonstrators, Prodrive was drafted in to redesign and fit the OEM parts without compromising performance.

FORD TRANSIT HYBRID PROTOTYPE
We helped Ford create the first Transit PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle). We were responsible for the integration of the hybrid powertrain systems into an existing Transit platform without any modifications to the engine bay or load capacity.

HYPERCAR HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A hypercar manufacturer needed to develop their existing design into a fully working electro-hydraulic system but had extremely tight space constraints and deadlines.

OPEN VENTILATOR SYSTEM 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.

RANGE ROVER AUTOBIOGRAPHY BLACK
Prodrive designed and manufactured the rear centre console module for the Range Rover SV Autobiography. It is the most sophisticated interior system for a car ever created.

RANGE ROVER AUTOBIOGRAPHY ULTIMATE
Prodrive helped Land Rover create a new model aimed at an entirely new customer. Focused on the rear passenger more than the driver, the customer experience had to deliver the highest quality.

SUPERCAR ACTIVE AERO
We developed the electro-hydraulic control system for the most sophisticated active aero system on any road car.

VOLTA ZERO PROTOTYPE
We brought Volta Trucks’ vision of a zero emission, fully electric mid-sized truck to life as fast as possible. Exploiting the electric powertrain, the payload is optimised and a safer truck for urban roads created. We built the first working prototype for the global launch and initial customer drives.

VOLVO LOUNGE CONSOLE
The Volvo Lounge Console removes the front passenger seat to give the rear occupant optimal space and legroom. Prodrive created and built the interior unit which deploys a screen and has a lockable compartment.
