Houghton, Michigan – November 10, 2016 – Michigan Technological University has received $2.8 million from the US Department of Energy (DOE) to develop next-generation control systems for light-duty hybrid electric vehicles. Tech is one of three Michigan recipients of a total of $8.5 million in new grants from DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E).
“Reducing energy consumption reduces fuel and electrical energy needs, extends the vehicle’s range and reduces greenhouse gases,” Naber explains.
The technology will be tested on a fleet of vehicles provided through the GM partnership, using Michigan Tech’s mobile laboratory as a mobile computing and communications center.
