approximately 45% peak thermal efficiency for light duty and greater-than 50% peak thermal efficiency for heavy duty). 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.

seconds and delivers a passing time of 3 seconds from 25–40 mph. Two tanks with a three-layer structure made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic and other materials are used to store hydrogen at 70 MPa (approximately 700 bars or 10,000 psi). Middle layer: carbon fiber reinforced plastic (structural element).

These areas of interest apply to light, medium and heavy duty on-road vehicles. AOI 2: Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) Development of Carbon Fiber Composites for Lightweight Vehicles. ($6M) The fibers can be continuous or discontinuous and the resin can be either a thermoplastic or thermoset polymer.

Conversely, high gear (9 th ) has been optimized for fuel efficiency during steady-state highway cruising. In addition to improving 0-to-60 mph and quarter-mile times, this zero-delay acceleration response allows the driver to experience a heightened sense of G-loading. The front floor panels are constructed of carbon fiber core.

An outer skin made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell. lb-ft) of system torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 litre V6 TDI engine.
