A firm which makes powerbanks to keep electric vans running longer has opened it head offices at Bicester Motion.
TUAL has taken Building 123b at the 444-acre park which will operate in addition to its technical operations centre in Glasgow.
Its product tackles the problem of the short ranges offered by most electric vehicles along with their lengthy charging times. Powerbanks keep vehicles running longer and charge them overnight.
TUAL’s team of eight is expected to grow to 30 across three continents by 2026.
Philip Clarke, chief executive officer and founder of TUAL, said: “Bicester Motion provides TUAL with an industry-leading launchpad for accelerating the development of our unique, cutting-edge electric commercial-vehicle charging solutions.
“From world-class engineering expertise to a host of on-site specialist partners, proximity to the Advanced Propulsion Centre team, and its inspiring entrepreneurial culture, Bicester Motion is a natural location for us to propel our business forward.
“The industry needs to seize the opportunity to electrify commercial vehicles. We intend to scale our commercial operations at Bicester, in parallel with the expansion of technical operations in Glasgow, to help businesses make a success of the electric commercial-vehicle transition – now and in the future.”
Daniel Geoghegan, chief executive of Bicester Motion, said: “We warmly welcome TUAL to our thriving future mobility community. Their innovative technology has the capability of transforming commercial vehicle EV infrastructure. We look forward to seeing their growth continue to accelerate in their new home.”
