Supporting the DOE Mission
Strategic Theme 1 - Energy Security
Strategic Goal 1.1 - Energy Diversity
Strategic Goal 1.2 - Environmental Impacts of Energy
Strategic Goal 3.3 - Research Integration
Mission Statement
Develop more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly highway transportation
technologies (for both personal and commercial vehicles) that meet or exceed performance
expectations and environmental requirements and that will enable America to use significantly
less petroleum and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Accomplishing the mission will benefit
both the fuel demand and replacement sides of the Department's energy security equation,
enabling more productive use of the energy consumed.
Target Market
Vehicle Technologies Program (VTP) research and development (R&D) addresses needs of
purchasers and manufacturers of both personal transportation (cars and light trucks), and
commercial vehicles (medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses). R&D is focused on energy
storage, lightweight materials, aerodynamics, power train efficiency, and alternative fuel
capability will overcome cost and performance barriers to support rapid market penetration.
