Resources - Concept Vehicles

After browsing our website, please be sure to investigate some of the fine concept vehicle resource sites that we've listed on this page. We know you have a choice when it comes to visiting hybrid vehicle websites, so thanks for spending some time here. That said, one you are finished, please check out what some of the quality external resources here have to offer.

PNGV Concept Vehicles - in 2000, GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler rolled out three concept vehicles to the public that averaged 70-80 mpg. Dr. Claude Gravatte, Jr.'s comments can be found at Technology Administration Testimony.

First Full Hydraulic Hybrid Urban Delivery Vehicle - Developed by the Environmental Protection Agency in conjunction with four partners, UPS, Eaton Corp., International Truck and Engine Corp. and U.S Army National Automotive Center, the aim is to reduce pollution and increased fuel economy in buses, refuse trucks and package delivery vehicles.

Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate - Division of NASA that addresses current and futuristic issues in air travel especially noting that this country has the potential to open a whole new era in aviation and provide new opportunities in air transportation safety and efficiency, national defense, economic growth, and quality of life.

Magnetically Levitating Trains and Rockets - includes research on how prototype magnetically levitated (maglev) trains cruising at up to 400 kilometers per hour have been pointing the way to the future in rail transport. Their compelling advantages include high speeds, little friction except aerodynamic drag, low energy consumption, and negligible air and noise pollution.

Hypercar - vehicle is designed to capture the synergies of: ultralight construction; low-drag design; hybrid-electric drive; and, efficient accessories to achieve 3 to 5-fold improvement in fuel economy, equal or better performance, safety, amenity and affordability, compared to today's vehicles. Lightweighting is the key to making vehicles superefficient but safe. In this invited technical review paper in the International Journal of Vehicle Design, RMI's CEO Amory Lovins and Hypercar, Inc.'s VP Engineering David Cramer explain why, using as an example Hypercar's 2000 virtual design of the Revolution 99-mpg SUV.



 

The Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV) was established in 1993. This cooperative research effort involves seven government agencies, the United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR), DaimlerChrysler Corp., Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. (USCAR was formed in 1992 by Chrysler, Ford and GM to leverage the companies' research efforts in non-competitive areas.)

The U.S. Department of Energy is a major participant in PNGV.The most well-known goal of the partnership is to develop technology that can be used to create vehicles that can achieve up to triple the fuel efficiency of today's vehicles with very low emissions, but without sacrificing affordability, performance or safety. These technologies can reduce the impact of cars and light trucks on the environment and reduce U.S. dependency on petroleum. The auto manufacturers met a major partnership milestone by introducing their concept vehicles in early 2000, and convened in Washington on March 30 to jointly present them to the press and Vice President Gore.
