Building on the SuperTruck activity, other projects aim at developing enabling technologies to improve the efficiency of heavy-duty diesel engines. The project will develop novel binders and active materials to enable a low-cost, water-based, electrodeposited lithium ion battery (LIB) electrode coating system and manufacturing process.

Depending on the reactants used in the esterification, the resulting valerates, which have good fuel properties, may be blended with gasoline or diesel. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin led by Dr. James Dumesic are exploring a different biofuel pathway involving the use of GVL. GVL to Biohydrocarbons. Earlier post.).

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. He was formerly with the University of Wisconsin and Rockwell International, and holds a Ph.D. It is much more than that. Engineering Advantages of the PHEV.
