Rimac Technology UK Office Reveals Future Plans

Rimac Technology UK Office Reveals Future Plans

The Rimac Group is planning to grow its Rimac Technology UK R&D location, seeking to hire across a number of divisions during 2023. The office, currently based in Warwickshire, is looking to expand its workforce in control systems engineering, electrical engineering, battery systems engineering and more for key automotive manufacturer projects. The team will also be recruiting for Project 3 Mobility – a company connected to the Rimac Group that is developing a new urban mobility ecosystem – and a new energy storage project.

The Rimac Technology UK office was first opened in early 2021 and had grown to employ 15 people by the end of its first year. As the Rimac Technology business – headquartered on the outskirts of Zagreb, Croatia – continues to grow, the UK office will expand in tandem. During 2022, Rimac Technology hired a total of 537 people across all locations.

Located close to the UK’s Motorsport Valley and to the HQs of a number of luxury automotive brands, Rimac Technology’s UK office is surrounded by engineering talent, especially in the areas where the business is flourishing; high-performance electrification technology and integration. Although much of its work is confidential, Rimac Technology has publicly announced projects with Aston Martin, Porsche, Hyundai, Kia, Automobili Pininfarina, Koenigsegg and others. In total, it has developed projects for 14 different manufacturer partners. It counts six UK manufacturers among this total.

Mate Rimac, Rimac Group CEO, said: “The level of engineering talent within the UK makes it an absolutely crucial location for our growing Rimac Technology business. There’s such a high concentration of innovative young mobility companies, established automotive brands and motorsport experts that it makes sense for us to have a hub in the country that will allow people to be a part of the Rimac Group without the potential upheaval of moving country. This is a long-term strategy for us, and while our current UK home is temporary, we are already seeking a larger, more permanent base in the country in line with our future growth predictions for the company.”

Throughout 2023, Rimac Technology UK will be advertising for roles in:

Battery Systems Engineering at all levels
Mechanical Design Engineering at all levels
Electric Engineering in embedded software, functional safety, software development, battery management systems and embedded hardware.
Project Purchasing
Manufacturing Engineering
Business Development
Control Systems
Body Engineering, Trim, Electric Engineering and Software, and Vehicle Engineering

The knowledge and expertise developed while creating the EV powertrain for the Rimac Nevera all-electric hypercar and other high-performance programs are now offered to OEMs as modular technical solutions, which can be adapted to meet the needs of their project. For example, the company’s high-performance AXL_SC1 electric drive unit platform provides a complete e-axle system incorporating an electric motor, inverter, and transmission, and can be tailored to high-performance, super, hyper and luxury vehicles.

Rimac Technology also leads the way in the development of next-generation modular, scalable battery solutions with its Unimodule battery system, which brings high-volume pricing to lower-volume markets. The company also provides a range of high-performance plug-and-play vehicle control units, which can be seamlessly integrated into a vehicle’s electrical architecture, while Rimac Technology software enables the control systems such as torque vectoring to provide ultra-focused high-performance handling. The UK team is also working on the development of future Rimac and Bugatti vehicles.

Project 3 Mobility, a company connected to the Rimac Group, also has offices in Warwickshire, as well as Croatia, and will be hiring throughout 2023. The high level of engineering talent and a strong R&D sector in the UK will help Project 3 Mobility to develop a new urban mobility ecosystem with offices both in Croatia and the UK. Teams within the UK will also be working on another Rimac Group project, using energy storage to diversify into new sectors.

Rimac Technology is one part of the Rimac Group, which also includes Bugatti Rimac. The Rimac Group is headquartered in Croatia and in 2023 will begin to move part of its operations to the new Rimac Campus. Located 16kms from Zagreb, the €200 million-plus development will provide state-of-the-art facilities for more than 2,500 Rimac Technology and Bugatti Rimac employees. The Campus has on-boarded numerous OEM projects and personnel so swiftly that 80 per cent of its production facilities will be in use as soon as it opens in 2023, but a further ‘Mega Campus’ is also in the future plans for the business.

Typically thought of as being an easy to clean area of the home, hard floors have risen in popularity in recent decades. Globally, hard floors are the most common floor type,2 and research released today by Dyson has uncovered poor cleaning habits that mean hard floors are likely to be harbouring an array of hidden nasties. This comes as 32% of Brits – equating to 21.6 million people in the UK – will use the same dirty mop head for six months or more before replacing it. What’s more, one in 20 also admit to keeping the same mop for a year or longer, and one in 10 think it is acceptable to use the same mop 100 times, spreading dirt around their floors every time they use it. Cross contamination is a primary issue for most common and traditional mopping methods with germs and bacteria further being unknowingly spread around homes as Brits use dirty water to clean floors.3 45% only change the water to new water between rooms, whereas 41% wait even longer until it looks dirty. This could mean that floors are being washed with dirty water, adding more dirt rather than taking it away. Surprisingly, almost one in 10 (9%) even admit to not changing the dirty water at all when mopping. Over a quarter (28%) admit to mopping their floors once a fortnight or less while over half (53%) admit they don’t regularly clean behind appliances and leave dirt to build up for as long as six months at a time. image002.jpg On how to achieve a perfect barefoot clean feel after mopping, Geli Lee, Dyson Engineer and Home Cleaning Expert offers their top tips for eliminating dirt around the home: 1. Create a cleaning schedule to stay on top of dirt build-up. In the last year, there has been a 15% global reduction in the number of people who maintain regular cleaning schedules. 47% of the British public admitted to only being motivated to clean when they spot visible dirt or dust.4 Regular floor cleaning with a wet hard floor cleaner like the Dyson WashG1™ removes more stubborn dirt than vacuuming alone. It is important to have a debris free surface, clear any clutter from the floor or other surfaces. Choose the right machine: Different vacuums are designed for different floor types and home sizes. Some machines will be engineered with hard floors in mind and will struggle on thick pile carpets, for example. Choosing the right machine for your home will make a big difference to the ease and speed with which you’re able to clean your home. Clean your floors ‘little and often’. Washing your floors frequently in areas that receive more foot fall will help to stop dirt building up and getting trodden into your floor. Using a dedicated wet floor cleaner on hard flooring such as the Dyson WashG1 is helpful for this, as the versatile format means it vacuums and washes the floor simultaneously. Cleaning schedules have also become less regimented. In recent years only 41% of people claim to have a regular cleaning schedule, and 60% admit to cleaning reactively; being motivated to clean only when there is visible dirt or dust5. It’s perhaps not surprising, that a fifth of people are still concerned their floors are dirty after they’ve mopped them (22%) and one in four6 feel extremely worried about indoor dust at home. Geli Lee, Dyson Engineer and Home Cleaning Expert reveals why it is important to change the way we mop: “Cleaning your hard floors properly and regularly is important for maintaining a healthy environment around your home. Without a proper cleaning routine, dirt may unknowingly build up and spread around your home. It is evident from our research that current mopping habits mean British households aren’t cleaning their floors as effectively as they should. “From ignoring problem areas where dust and debris build up, cross contamination with dirty water to not replacing mop heads or inconsistent cleaning, current mopping behaviours may be making floors dirtier as opposed to cleaner. Moving away from traditional methods, wet floor cleaners like the Dyson WashG1 simplify the floor cleaning experience and provide a modern efficient and hygienic solution” To help take the guesswork out of mopping, the brand new WashG1 is Dyson’s first dedicated wet floor cleaner that tackles wet and dry debris in one go. Engineered for hygienic cleaning and maintenance, the WashG1 is revolutionising wet floor cleaning, removing the need for multi-products and multi-steps to achieve a barefoot clean feel around the home. To put the product to the test, Dyson have cleaned one of London’s most iconic landmarks The Victoria and Albert Museum. From cleaning the grand marble floors housing the most prestigious exhibits, to cleaning up leftover food in the Gamble Room Cafe, the WashG1 had a dirt busting tour of the museum leaving it spotless. Images can be found here. The WashG1 introduces Dyson’s engineering expertise to cleaning hard floors. With a 1 litre clean-water tank to cover flooring up to 290m2, the Dyson WashG1 uses a combination of hydration, absorption, and extraction technologies to remove wet and dry spills and stains simultaneously. The Dyson WashG1 is available to purchase now from Dyson.co.uk, retailing at £599.99.
