The U.S. Department of Energy through its Office of TransportationTechnologies is pursuing critical technological advances that can help tocreate new and improved national transportation systems. The Office ofTransportation Technologies supports research that is often too financiallyrisky for private industry to develop on its own. Partnerships are developedwith industry, working with national laboratories, as a way to strengthenresources.The mission of the Office of Transportation Technologiesis to reduce U.S. dependence on petroleum.Within the Office of Transportation Technologies, the Office of AdvancedAutomotive Technologies focuses its efforts on developing cleaner and moreenergy-efficient technologies for automobiles of the future. The Transportation<strong>Fuel</strong> Cell Program is just one of many exciting research activities.The Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV) Program is apartnership between 11 government agencies and the United StatesCouncil for Automotive Research, a cooperative research effort amongDaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and General MotorsCorporation, to develop commercially-viable vehicle technology that, overthe long-term, can preserve personal mobility, reduce the impact of cars andlight trucks on the environment and reduce U.S. dependency on foreign oil.The Alternative <strong>Fuel</strong>s Research and Development Program has beendeveloping alternative fuels technologies in partnership with industry formore than 20 years.The CARAT Program (Cooperative Automotive Research for AdvancedTechnology) supports universities and small businesses to accelerate thedevelopment and production of innovative technologies that address barriersto producing ultra-efficient vehicles including the design and development ofadvanced, energy-efficient automotive components and systems.The Graduate Automotive Technology Education Program (GATE) is amultidisciplinary automotive engineering program for graduate students thatfocuses on technologies critical to the development and production of futureautomobiles.Benefits of Office of Transportation Technologies Program• Reducing dependence upon foreign oil• Increasing energy savings• Improving air quality by reducing destructive air pollution andgreenhouse gasesTo learn more about the Office of Transportation Technologies:www.ott.doe.govThis document, and more, is available for download at <strong>Martin's</strong> <strong>Marine</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong> <strong>Page</strong> - www.dieselduck.net
