PNGV vehicle engineering accomplishments
This article describes technical progress made by the industry/government partnership which sets the stage for developing tomorrow`s supercar. The alliance among Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, and the US federal government, known as the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV), continues to work towards its long-term goal of developing and producing an affordable, fuel-efficient, low-emission automobile that meets today`s performance standards. A diverse range of new concepts and technologies in such areas as power generation, energy storage, electronics, materials, manufacturing, and systems analysis is being explored to meet these goals. The following is a summary of recent, significant accomplishments being made by the PNGV with respect to concept vehicles, hybrid propulsion systems, and air bags which the partnership classifies as vehicle engineering technology.
