This report documents the combined results of a literature search and personal communications activity designed to identify on-going R and D and suggested R and D needs for advanced propulsion systems and alternative fuels utilization technologies for non-highway transportation applications. The results are presented in the three subsequent chapters of this report. Section 3 presents the results of the literature search. Some of the information reported in Section 3 was obtained through communications with and information received from various Government and private R and D funding entities. Each identified R an D program or project is summarized and various additional information deemed pertinent is noted. Section 4 presents the results of discussions and communications with various private organizations and academic institutions. These discussions and communications were designed to buttress the literature search effort and were conducted independently of the literature search. Thus, some cross-reporting of research efforts will exist. Section 5 presents the results of personal communications with selected key researchers. This latter activity was designed to elicit recommendations of R and D needs, thus providing the workshop panel with additional advance information for its considerations as well as to provide additional input for the final assessments reported in Volume I.
