Toyota Motor Corp. is teaming up with several universities and tech companies on research programs to develop next-generation batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles.
The carmaker’s Toyota Research Institute (TRI) arm plans to invest $35 million in such collaborative programs over the next four years. Among the initial partners are Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, State University of New York at Buffalo, University of Connecticut, and the U.K.-based materials science company Ilika plc.
The researchers will use artificial intelligence to test different battery chemistry combinations and materials—including potential replacements for platinum catalysts—to help improve performance and reduce costs. They also will use AI to evaluate design processes and materials used in fuel cells and other energy storage systems.
