R&D Lead

British-born Dr Elizabeth Bowyer chose Aurobay for the chance to innovate in the sustainability of electrified powertrains.

It is well known that there is not one solution in the automotive world’s drive towards net zero – both electrification and sustainable ICE will play major roles in achieving the industry’s environmental goals. At Aurobay we are striving to lead the way, combining technical innovation, performance and sustainability to create the powertrains of the future.

Innovation for sustainability

My own focus is on electrification. For electrified powertrains to be truly sustainable it is not just about exhaust emissions but the sustainability of the technology you use to achieve this goal. At Aurobay we are creating a unique road map towards truly sustainable electrification from the removal of rare earth elements and the use of recycled and alternative materials to process optimisation; to name just a few.

Diverse, passionate colleagues

I work with a really amazing cross-functional team. We’re a diverse mix of different characters, nationalities and specialisms. Everyone has a real passion and enthusiasm for reaching our technical goals and making the dream of sustainable electrification a reality. We work hard but have a lot of fun doing it!

Gothenburg with children

I moved to Gothenburg with my husband and young family from Stuttgart in Germany. Gothenburg is a great city for small children. There are loads of outdoor activities within walking distance, amazing parks and Universeum in the city centre – which is probably the best kids’ science museum I’ve ever been to!
