This project will research, develop, and demonstrate polyalkylene glycol (PAG)- based engine oil technology which can reduce engine friction relative to conventional petroleum-based and synthetic oils. Increased availability of low cost carbon fiber can enable vehicle weight reduction and improvement in fuel economy.

Electrification of transportation is receiving a major infusion of investment. It also scales back in areas such as oil and gas company research and moves away from funding vehicular hydrogen fuel cells to technologies “ with more immediate promise, ” according to Energy Secretary Steven Chu.

If PHEVs became the major form of transportation, the use of fossil fuels would be cut dramatically. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. Engineering Advantages of the PHEV.
