Value chain report: How UK suppliers can support development and production of Connected Autonomous Vehicles

WMG at the University of Warwick undertook the Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) Value Chain Analysis project which completed in 2019. The project aimed to inform the Government and Zenzic’s understanding of the emerging CAV supply base and value chain in the UK. The study examined the technologies and services required to bring CAVs to the streets, potential future use and deployment, and the gaps in existing UK supply capability. The low-speed transport environment provided a case study to understand in detail the immediate and practical needs of innovation and deployment, and the current constraints on innovation. This report summarises the findings of this project and results in a series of practical recommendations for how the UK can seize the opportunities.
