Our Technologies

Reduce Space and Weight

Take advantage of our innovative space-saving solutions such as woven ribbon cables which are lightweight, flexible, and manufactured in a flat, compact format. The ability to weave wire as small as .1mm in diameter allows us to build 100 wires into an assembly measuring just 25.4mm by .6mm with increased tensile strength.

Heat and Vibration Resistance

Our specialist overmoulding solutions protects wiring and connectors from oils, heat, and vibration guaranteeing performance and longevity. Overmoulding can also be used to form specific connector shapes, ensuring the connector remains in position whilst also being flexible enough to be installed in constrained spaces.

Fuel Efficiency

Re-generative and electric energy systems are the future of the automotive industry. Our assemblies are used in multiple powertrain applications.

Our Projects

‍‍

Supercar Development: A renowned automotive manufacturer aimed to develop 275 vehicles for the prestigious supercar market, all based on a 2016 Formula 1 car. Alpha 3 worked closely with the manufacturer’s design team to build a premium engine control system.

Formula 1: A Formula 1 racing team approached us to support the development of pit lane vehicle monitoring equipment. We provided multiple assemblies to collect live data via radio frequency, allowing the team to monitor engine efficiencies during races. The cables were specially designed to withstand long-range data transmission in areas with high levels of noise.

‍Rally Car Constraints: In motorsport, space-saving and weight reduction can be key factors in securing a win. When a current cable was causing constraint issues in a rally car, our engineers designed a bespoke harness which transitioned from flat to round at certain points within the vehicle for an improved fit that didn’t interfere with other components.
