Facilities & Divisions

The EIL is well-equipped with facilities for carrying out a wide range of fabrication, test and characterisation. Larger scale demonstration facilities are also available, such as in the Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles Lab, as are computer facilities and the rapid prototyping workshop.

The lists below give an indication of the range of equipment available within the EIL:
