This project will investigate the use of ionic liquids as a new class of multi-functional (anti-wear and friction modifier) lubricant additives to allow the use of lower viscosity engine oils, to improve engine efficiency. Increased availability of low cost carbon fiber can enable vehicle weight reduction and improvement in fuel economy.

Fuels currently sourced or that can be sourced in the United States are highly encouraged. The objective of this AOI is to accelerate the realization of lighter weight vehicle materials made from magnesium and carbon fiber capable of attaining 50% weight reduction of passenger vehicles. AOI 2: Lightweighting Materials.

It is rare when we post a review of a car that is only available in one of the 50 United States, but such is the case with the 2022 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), which is only sold in California. We also feature those efficient gas-powered vehicles that are among the top mpg vehicles in their class.

Installation of CCS charging stations has already begun in Europe and the United States. Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer. An outer skin made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell. Further increases are expected.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The potential is enormous because the current grid has sufficient energy capacity to supply every vehicle in the United States if every one of them was a PHEV. by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank.
