    Opportunity Title: Transportation Electrification
    Agency: DOE - National Energy Technology Laboratory
    Funding Number: DE-FOA-0000028
    Description: The Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory on behalf of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Office of Vehicle Technologies Program is seeking applications for grants to establish development, demonstration, evaluation, and education projects to accelerate the market introduction and penetration of advanced electric drive vehicles. The DOE's goal is for the vehicles and electric technologies to achieve a fast market introduction and reach high volume production. A key objective of the OVT program is to accelerate the development and production of various electric drive vehicle systems to substantially reduce petroleum consumption. One of the electric drive technologies that will be emphasized in this project are Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, which directly supports the President's goal to Get One Million Plug-In Hybrid Cars on the Road by 2015. Furthermore, advanced electric drive technologies will allow manufacturers to meet increased fuel economy standards while reducing vehicular emissions of greenhouse gases. The resulting grants will also meaningfully aide in the nation's economic recovery by creating U.S. based jobs as outlined in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
