The new site complements TUAL’s existing technical development and engineering centre, along with a planned assembly line in Glasgow. It cements the company’s operational foundation as it accelerates its scale-up phase. TUAL’s establishment at Bicester Motion marks the campus's first high-performance battery specialist focused on commercial vehicles and enterprise fleets.

Bicester Motion’s Heritage area is part of a broader development aimed at fostering the evolution of mobility through innovation. It offers a unique environment that promotes skills, expertise, and employment, while attracting qualified customer interest and fostering shared business incubation and growth.

TUAL’s new site at The Station Armoury will see the company join an array of sustainable mobility innovators. These include the electric vehicle brand Polestar, the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team, urban electric two-wheeler manufacturer Zapp, and synthetic fuel developer Zero Petroleum.

Situated in a key UK region for scientific and technological advancement, Bicester Motion provides a strategic location for business and product development. The site features extensive static and live-drive environments ideal for showcasing and testing TUAL’s pioneering technology.
