TSRC conducts research on reducing pollution from vehicle exhaust and dependence on imported fossil fuels. TSRC is analyzing the real world and potential future performance of electric, hydrogen and biofuel vehicles. Research focuses on technical performance, economics, policy analysis, behavioral response, and environmental impacts of these technologies.
Electric vehicles are now proliferating based on technologies and components that in turn rely on the use of strategic materials and mineral resources. This review article discusses critical materials considerations for electric drive vehicles, focusing on the underlying component...Read more about Advanced materials supply considerations for electric vehicle applications
Management of electric vehicle (EV) charging is likely to be critical in avoiding large increases in peak electricity demand and subsequent build outs of generation and distribution infrastructure. Additionally, management of EV charging can help to more
This ready reference is unique in collating in one scientifically precise and comprehensive handbook the widespread data on what is feasible and realistic in modern fuel cell technology.
Transportation systems contribute significantly to air pollution and ∼15% globally and ∼25% in the United States to emissions climate-changing gases. In the United States, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for motor vehicles were significantly raised in 2012 for the first...Read more about Emerging Technologies for Higher Fuel Economy Automobile Standards
This study examined driver acceptance and performance of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles as tested in real-world conditions over a two-year period. The study sample was a volunteer group of “n = 54” drivers who drove the vehicle for a
