Close Date: 01/31/2013

Selection Announcement: 2012-11-30

Funding Organization: EERE

Funding Number: DE-FOA-0000722

Summary:

The Department of Energy’s (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is seeking applications that support the Vehicles Technology Program’s (VTP) general goal to develop technologies that enable cars and trucks to become highly efficient through affordable and improved drivetrain, lightweighting technologies, and cleaner domestic fuels. Specific goals of the VTP Hybrid and Electric Systems Team include enabling the use of advanced electric drive technologies in vehicle systems by developing low-cost batteries, advanced power electronics and electric motor components, and the development and validation of models and simulation tools to predict the performance, fuel economy, and emissions of advanced conventional and electric-drive vehicle systems. The energy storage goals will be accomplished through the funding of research and development (R&D) ranging from focused, long-term research to more applied R&D. Most of the longer term research will be done in universities and the national laboratories, but much of the more applied work will be done within the domestic battery industry.
