Electric powertrain developer Saietta Group (LON: SED) says it is developing a fully integrated e-drive system, including its own Axial Flux Technology motor with power electronics, gearbox and axle. This will increase the potential revenues and margins and the share price rose 10p to 150p. Mass production of the integrated system will be prioritised at the new Sunderland facility. It will require additional capital investment, so cash is being reallocated from the motor durability test centre, which will only be for internal testing.

Retail and promotions business SpaceandPeople (LON: SAL) continues to decline following Monday’s share consolidation. The post-consolidation share price was 140p and it has fallen to 127.5p – after a further 5.6% decline today.
