Thirteenth annual report to Congress on the Automotive Technology Development Program

Technical Report · Wed Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1992

OSTI ID:5622941

This is the thirteenth annual report on the progress in implementing the Automotive Propulsion Research and Development Act of 1976 (Title III of Public Law 95-238). The Act provides for a R D effort with respect to advanced automotive propulsion systems technology which would complement and stimulate corresponding efforts by the private sector. Implementation of the Act is responsibility of the DOE's Office of Transportation Technologies (OTT). The program goals of OTT are to increase end use efficiency of highway vehicles and other transportation modes and to substitute domestic fuels such as methanol, ethanol, and natural gas for petroleum-based fuels.
