The technical approach is delivered in two ways:

* Development of a 50kWh electrified-powertrain, intelligently-optimised for efficiency in remote applications and placing system integrity and regulatory compliance at the core of the design process, driving system trust.
* Development of mass reduced, form-optimised marine structures developed with generative design methodologies and manufactured using Big Area Additive Manufacture (BAAM).

Alongside the development of novel technical processes, regulatory compliance is placed as a significant, ongoing focus of the project to ensure that project outputs can be commercialised and deployed at scale and at rapid pace, maximising the project impacts.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
