The U.S. Dept. of Energy has unveiled a new $56 million funding program to promote automotive R&D on advanced batteries, lightweight materials, advanced combustion engines and fuel technologies.
DOE also will fund $35 million in research on fuel cells and hydrogen systems.
The department says the larger group of grants will vary between $350,000 and $4.5 million and fund projects lasting from two to four years. Nine areas of interest include power control module design, ultra-lightweight doors, multi-material joining technologies, battery materials, battery electrode and cell manufacturing, battery performance modeling, fuel efficiency measures for heavy trucks, fluid dynamics and natural-gas engines.
DOE will describe the larger funding program (DE-FOA-0001201) during a webinar on Feb. 14. More information about the fuel cell funding program, which will begin next month, is available here.
