DOE labs study on costs and benefits of new transportation technologies the most comprehensive to date

Green Car Congress

A new study published by US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory offers the most complete understanding yet of the costs of owning and operating a vehicle, and how those costs vary by powertrain, from the conventional to the cutting-edge. Our analysis helped fill those data gaps.

MITEI Mobility Systems Center awards four projects for low-carbon transportation research

Green Car Congress

In the transition toward a low-carbon transportation system, refueling infrastructure is crucial for the viability of any alternative fuel vehicle. Modeling the mechanisms through which the design of hydrogen-based mobility systems can achieve lower costs and emissions can help inform the development of future infrastructure.
