Established by the Automotive Council’s Manufacturing Group and the CLF. The Group is chaired by Alan Banks of Ford Motor Company.
Aim: “To facilitate development of UK technology capability and supply chain capacity to deliver high productivity manufacturing of globally competitive, higher volume composite structures and components”.
The VCG has set targets, mapped out the supply chain development required and is now seeking to fill gaps that could restrict future development.
It is working with Government and funding bodies to identify funding mechanisms to facilitate this.
