The third volume in the FreedomCAR series states that, although the partnership's recent shift of focus toward technologies that could be ready for use in the nearer term--such as advanced combustion engines and plug-in electric vehicles--is warranted, R & D on hydrogen and fuel cells is also needed given the high costs and challenges that many of the technologies must overcome before widespread use. The FreedomCAR (Cooperative Automotive Research) and Fuel Partnership is a research collaboration among the U.S. Department of Energy, the United States Council for Automotive Research - whose members are the Detroit automakers--five major energy companies, and two electric utility companies. The partnership seeks to advance the technologies essential for components and infrastructure for a full range of affordable, clean, energy efficient cars and light trucks. Until recently, the program primarily focused on developing technologies that would allow U.S. automakers to make production and marketing decisions by 2015 on hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles. These vehicles have the potential to be much more energy-efficient than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, produce no harmful tailpipe emissions, and significantly reduce petroleum use. In 2009, the partnership changed direction and stepped up efforts to advance, in the shorter term, technologies for reducing petroleum use in combustion engines, including those using biofuels, as well as batteries that could be used in plug-in hybrid-electric or all electric vehicles."--Publisher's description. 606 $aMotor vehicles$xTechnological innovations$xResearch$zUnited States 606 $aAutomobiles$xEnergy consumption$xResearch$zUnited States 606 $aResearch and development partnership$zUnited States 615 0$aMotor vehicles$xTechnological innovations$xResearch 615 0$aAutomobiles$xEnergy consumption$xResearch 615 0$aResearch and development partnership 676 $a629.22 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Review of the FreedomCar and Fuel Research Program, Phase 2. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791776003321 996 $aReview of the research program of the FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership$93756779 997 $aUNINA
