Dr. Stockar Part of a Team Awarded $3 Million to Improve Heavy-Duty Vehicles Fuel Economy
“Penn State received the competitive award from ARPA-E’s NEXT-Generation Energy Technologies for Connected and Automated On-Road Vehicles (NEXTCAR) program, which seeks to leverage vehicle connectivity and automation technologies to optimize vehicle controls and powertrain operation. Using vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-everything technologies, NEXTCAR projects will enable better communication between and coordination of vehicle-level and powertrain-level actions, improving individual vehicle and, ultimately, fleet efficiency. In all, 10 new projects were awarded a total of $32 million in funding.”
