To achieve optimum vehicle performance and efficiency, the FreedomCAR and Fuel and 21st Century Truck Partnerships take an integrated systems research approach that encompasses a wide range of technologies.
Vehicle Systems research seeks to improve fuel economy significantly, comply with projected emissions and safety regulations, and use domestically produced fuels.
Advanced Materials research contributes to improved energy efficiency without compromising safety, performance, recyclability, and cost.
Fuels research focuses on new fuels and lubricants that can reduce our dependence on petroleum-based products with fewer environmental impacts.
Engines and Emission Control research identifies innovative strategies for gasoline- and diesel-powered engines that offer efficiency and emissions improvements.
