Abstract
Prodrive was announced as a Technical Partner to Land Rover BAR, Britain’s entry for the 35th America’s Cup to help the team develop electrical, electronic and hydraulic control systems.
Prodrive exploited its cross sector knowledge and technology to win a bid to develop electrical, electronic and hydraulic control systems for Land Rover BAR, Britain’s entry for the 35th America’s Cup.
Prodrive has a team of over a dozen engineers allocated to the project, and having already developed the hydraulic control system for the foils on the first prototype boat, they are now working on other areas of the final design, as well as manufacturing unique components for the team’s yacht. The Prodrive engineers were able to work across sectors, to produce the most competitive package for Land Rover BAR.
