US DOE awards more than $175M to 40 projects for advanced vehicle research and development

Green Car Congress

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.
