The new 'Coasting - Engine off' micro hybrid system represents a low-cost level of electric-powered motoring on a 12-volt basis. In gas-powered mode it works in a particularly low-emission manner—and that applies both to CO 2 and NO x particulate emissions. Coasting - Engine off. The compact 1.0 Click to enlarge.

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. This project will develop a new process that enables low-cost, domestic manufacturing of magnesium.

The successful market implementation of these materials in vehicles requires that they be low cost and available in sufficient abundance to make a compelling business case. For this reason the focus of this AOI includes the development of low-cost approaches to the manufacturing of both magnesium and carbon fiber.
