| BEIS_0090_2122-Q4 | Automotive Transformation Fund | DBT | Infrastructure and Construction | The Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF) aims to support the creation of an internationally competitive electric vehicle supply chain in the UK. It provides support to late-stage R&D and capital investments in strategically important technologies. This includes unlocking strategic investments in gigafactories, motors and drives, power electronics, and fuel cell systems. | Not set | Amber | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. As of March 2024, the total value of in principle and final offers made under the ATF is over 550 million. Our approach has already attracted landmark projects across the country including Tata's investment of over 4 billion in a new 40GWh gigafactory and Ford's investment of 380m in the production of electric power units at Halewood. In FY23/24 the ATF surrendered programme budget. Alongside this, significant resourcing challenges impacted the programme's ability to meet its objectives including a lack of capacity to onboard new ATF cases.The current programme will end-March 2025 but as part of the Advanced Manufacturing Plan, DBT has announced 2bn of capital and R&D funding to 2030, building on the work of the Automotive Transformation Fund and the Advanced Propulsion Centre R&D programmes. Furthermore, the ATF is currently in the process of implementing streamlining proposals to improve the efficiency of the ATF process. | 2020-07-31 | 2025-03-31 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained schedule to finish on 2025-03-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Automotive Transformation Fund is funded until March 2025. However, as part of the Advanced Manufacturing Plan, we have announced over 2bn of capital and R&D funding to 2030, boosting the UK's competitiveness and unlocking strategic investments in our automotive industry. This funding will be delivered via Auto2030, an ambitious programme building on the work of the Automotive Transformation Fund and the Advanced Propulsion Centre R&D programmes, ensuring continuity in HMG support. | 260 | 162.14 | -38 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Automotive Transformation Fund has surrendered some programme budget in the past year. The ATF team are in the process of assessing the impact of this on benefits realisation. Furthermore, the programme is looking to streamline the capital grants process to significantly improve the speed with which government responds to all full and complete applications for capital grants, in line with the headline recommendations from the Harrington Review into the government's approach to attracting foreign direct investment. | 671 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 decreased from 747m. to 671m. This is primarily due to the following factors. The baseline costs have been updated to reflect the funding awarded to the Automotive Transformation Fund until March 2025. | 0 | The project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 is 0m. The ATF will deliver monetised benefits. These are direct employment in the automotive and electrical equipment (i.e. battery) sectors, indirect employment in their supply chains, and R&D spillover returns. The ATF analysts are in the process of reviewing/updating the ATF business case to produce an updated benefits section according to best practice principles which is with HMT for approval. It will ensure alignment of the identified benefits with the GMPP's format and will address reductions in the ATF budget which have occurred to date. Furthermore, there are significant wider benefits such as global CO2 emissions savings and a contribution to reducing regional inequalities in the UK, which will not be included in the monetised appraisal. |
