Could vehicle tested in Warwickshire be the electric car of the future?
A prototype electric vehicle developed by Shell, RML Group and HORIBA-MIRA demonstrates rapid charging, reduced battery size and lower carbon footprint through a new fluid‑cooled battery system. Engineers highlight how the coolant increases performance and safety, while lightweight construction and recycled materials enhance efficiency. The concept has attracted interest from manufacturers, raising expectations that similar technology could appear in next‑generation electric cars.
