About
Newcastle University awarded a contract to North East BIC for business consultancy to assist the commercialisation of university research, specifically the Zero Wheel Slip Linear Induction Motor (Z-LIM) rail braking technology.
The technology aims to reduce dependence on wheel-rail friction for traction and braking, increasing network capacity by eliminating defensive driving strategies.
The work, led by Newcastle University with industry partner Reece Innovation, involves setting up a spin-out company for pre-commercial development, regulation, and supply.
The contract value was £30,000.
