• Transportation is responsible for 2/3 of petroleum usage and 1/3
GHG emissions.
• Unites States spends
$1B per day to import oil.
• Global discovery of new oil fields peaked in 1966.
• U.S. oil production peaked in 1971.

2 I Vehicle Technologies Program

President calls out goal of 1 million PHEVs on the road by 2015 in State of the Union address
Administration sets goal of reducing oil imports by 1/3 by 2025
Vice
New CAFÉ standards will require cars and light trucks to yield a combined fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon
3 I Vehicle Technologies Program

VTP Technology
Advancement Highlights
Lightweighting
Supporting Research and Development of Materials with a Goal to Reduce Chassis Weight by 50%
Advanced Combustion Engines
Increased engine efficiency with simultaneous emissions reduction show the results of DOE R&D
Electrification Infrastructure
Recovery Act
Vehicle Electrification Efforts in
Deployment, Manufacturing, Power
Electronics and Electric Motors
• The Recovery Act enabled the largest-ever
U.S. deployment of electric-drive vehicles and charging infrastructure.
• Installation of over 22,000 Level 2 charging sites at residential, commercial, and public locations and 350 (500VDC) Fast Chargers.
•
Collection of detailed operational data from this charging infrastructure will allow future improvements.
