經(jīng)過多輪合作探討，國創(chuàng)中心與帝國理工達成校級合作意向，雙方同意在中國新能源乘用車和商用陸地車輛領域內(nèi)合作，旨在與國創(chuàng)中心設立的創(chuàng)新中心建立聯(lián)合技術研發(fā)和創(chuàng)新項目，先期在輕量化材料、氫能與燃料電池方向開展合作，探索新能源汽車行業(yè)內(nèi)“卡脖子”技術的優(yōu)質(zhì)技術成果轉(zhuǎn)化方案。

After multiple rounds of discussion, NEVC and Imperial College London reached a school-level cooperation intention. The two parties have agreed to cooperate in the field of new energy passenger vehicles and commercial land vehicles in China, aiming to set up joint technology R&D and innovation programmes with Innovation Centers set up by NEVC. The initial plan is to cooperate in the fields of lightweight materials, hydrogen energy and fuel cells with the goal of exploring the translation of high-quality technological achievements in the new energies’ automobile industry.

雙方的合作內(nèi)容將主要集中在中國與英國的思想交流、專業(yè)知識的交流與培養(yǎng)，與創(chuàng)新中心建立研發(fā)和創(chuàng)新項目，舉辦新能源汽車技術創(chuàng)新拉力賽，通過在中國的創(chuàng)新中心孵化器培育來加速創(chuàng)新，以及其他潛在的合作以吸引更多的投資，與國創(chuàng)中心知識產(chǎn)權共享平臺合作等。

The collaboration between the two parties will mainly focus on the exchange of ideas and fostering Chinese and British expertise and insights, establishing R&D and innovation programs with Innovation centers, holding New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Rally, accelerating innovation through incubator provision at the Innovation Centre in China, potential cooperation on attracting additional investment and fundraising, cooperation through NEVC’s intellectual property sharing platform, etc.

英國帝國理工學院：建校已有百年歷史，是國際學術界具有頂級聲望，是世界最具創(chuàng)新力的大學之一，研究地位被公認為英國大學的三甲之列。

Imperial College London has a history of over 100 years. It is one of the most innovative universities in the world with top reputation in the international academic community. Its research standing means Imperial is recognized as one of the top three universities in the UK.

國家新能源汽車技術創(chuàng)新中心：科技部批復的汽車行業(yè)唯一的國家級技術創(chuàng)新中心。國創(chuàng)中心圍繞智能網(wǎng)聯(lián)、燃料電池、動力電池、電驅(qū)動、電子電控、輕量化、混合動力、前瞻技術、整車集成九大技術研發(fā)方向，通過開源整車技術開發(fā)、前沿技術檢測驗證、知識產(chǎn)權共享、創(chuàng)投孵化四大業(yè)務平臺建設、實現(xiàn)技術研發(fā)與能力建設的融合發(fā)展。

NEVC is the only national technology innovation center in the automotive industry approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology. NEVC focuses on the nine major technology R&D areas of intelligent networks, fuel cells, power batteries, electric power systems, drive, electronic control, lightweight, hybrid power, forward-looking technology, and vehicle integration. NEVC realizes the integrated development of technology R&D and capacity building through the construction of four major business platforms: open source vehicle technology development, cutting-edge technology testing and verification, intellectual property sharing, and venture capital incubation.
