Electrifying innovation at McLaren Applied

Accelerated by the cocktail of the Covid-19 induced ‘new normal’ and the pressure of looming global climate concerns, digital transformation and electrification are having their moment.

Development of new, efficient, greener technologies goes hand-in-hand with achieving our Net Zero ambitions. The engineering sector is playing an enormous role here, and companies like McLaren Applied are more determined than ever before to step up to the challenge.

The company was established back in 2004 as a spin-out of Woking-based racing and automotive giant McLaren. Since then, it has brought a range of innovations to the forefront of industries spanning beyond automotive and motorsport, branching into areas such as manufacturing, public transport and aerospace. 

Through applying its leading expertise in motorsport to solutions within these industries, McLaren Applied aims to fulfil its mission of pioneering a better future through its people and technologies: something the electrification division has been particularly key in as we head toward a much-needed shift in our approach to our global carbon footprint.
