| Federal Program Description |
The Vehicle Technologies Program provides funding in two areas: system level technology development, integration, and demonstration for efficient Class 8 trucks; and advanced technology powertrains for light-duty vehicles. Class 8 trucks are defined as heavy-duty commercial trucks weighing over 33,000 pounds. The goal of the first area is to increase vehicle freight efficiency by a total of 50% for heavy-duty Class 8 trucks. The projects receiving funding will focus on improving the efficiency of advanced engine technologies and vehicle system technologies, for instance by limiting aerodynamic drag, reducing vehicle weight, and drivetrain hybridization, which uses two types of energy converters rather than just one. Under the second program area, projects will work to advance the research and development of efficient engine and powertrain systems for passenger vehicles. For gasoline-fueled vehicles, these cost-competitive components will achieve at least a 25% fuel economy improvement compared to 2009 reference vehicles, while diesel-fueled vehicles will be able to attain at least a 40% improvement. This is part of the Applied Research, Development, Demonstration and Deployment Activities program for technologies related to energy efficiency and renewable energy. |
