Lotus Engineering, the world renowned automotive consultancy division of Lotus, has created a new research and development group solely for electric and hybrid vehicles. The formation of this group recognises the increasing global importance of hybrid and electric vehicles, and the increasing amount of consultancy project work in this area that is being undertaken by Lotus Engineering.  Mike Kimberley, chief executive officer for Group Lotus plc, said: “I am pleased to confirm the formalisation of this existing team, which will support our strong global growth on ecological  technologies. “We have an intensely proactive growth plan over the next five years and we are already seeing substantial increases in third party client work for our global client base, of which considerable research and development into hybrid and electric vehicles is a major part. “Over the next five years, Lotus will further reinforce its position as a world leader in green transport engineering.”
