Briggs Automotive Company is the manufacturer behind the world’s only road-legal, single-seater supercars – the BAC Mono and BAC Mono R. The Liverpool-based business was founded in 2009 by brothers Neill and Ian Briggs, who set about delivering a pinnacle road vehicle that offers the most authentic and purest driving experience possible.
Since delivering the first vehicles in 2011 the company has delivered in excess of 170 vehicles to customers in over 47 territories globally, spanning 4 continents.
The BAC Mono R is the lightest, most powerful expression of Mono to date. Launched in 2019 as a limited run of 40 units globally, it is the world’s first production car to incorporate graphene in its panels, with R weighing just 555kg. BAC continues to champion lightweight technology, with graphene featuring in its latest Mono, which was released this summer at Monterey Car Week in California.
BAC is known for being industry front-runners for lightweight technology, analysing every single gram that goes into its supercars and exploring how any given area can be trimmed by implementing the latest innovations. The company is famed for being pioneers in its research and development work into the use of graphene.
Using revolutionary material graphene within carbon fibre enhances the structural properties of carbon to result in fewer sheets being needed to meet functional performance targets. With BAC Mono and Mono R panels, the addition of graphene ensured panels required two sheets of carbon fibre, rather than three.
The UK rail industry is at a critical stage. Ambitious plans for high‑speed routes and regional connectivity promise to transform how people and goods move across the country.
The UK defence sector is expanding rapidly, bringing with it significant opportunity for manufacturers across the UK. But for many businesses, breaking into defence can feel complex, unclear, and difficult to navigate.
The UK’s path to net‑zero road transport is entering a decisive phase. On one side, the government is holding firmly to its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate, positioning the UK as a frontrunner in decarbonising mobility. On the other, the automotive industry is warning that the pace and rigidity of current policy risk outstripping economic reality, technology readiness and consumer demand.
