IAAPS: Propulsion and Mobility

University of Bath

Organisation profile

Our propulsion systems expertise

IAAPS builds on a strong track record of delivering propulsion system research with impact at Bath. For the last 40 years, our approach has been to align research conducted by some of the world's best engineers with specific industrial challenges.

Our research

Building on the excellent track record of our propulsion system research, we focus on addressing key issues faced by the automotive sector. We will continue to align our research and innovation with industry to support them on the Road to Zero.
