Lotus Engineering has just announced the creation of a new division specifically dedicated to the research and development of hybrid and electric vehicles. In doing so, the company is promoting the importance of these vehicles in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions, thereby strengthening its leadership in green transportation engineering.

Lotus EVE

Lotus has been actively involved in this field for over 20 years. Among its many achievements are the Lotus EVE Concept and Project Low CO2, to name a few.

Phil Barker, who was recently appointed Chief Engineer of Hybrid and Electric Technologies at Lotus Engineering, will head R&D efforts and help Lotus overcome the challenges of tomorrow. Before joining Lotus, this engineering graduate from the University of Coventry had been working as an automotive consultant for various companies.

Lotus Engineering wants to accelerate its growth over the next five years. Research and development of hybrid and electric cars will be a top priority from now on.
