Cooperative Agreement DEEE0008265

The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded Navistar Inc. a $2,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) federal grant program. The objective of this project is to build, deploy, and demonstrate the in-use performance of a Class 6/7, medium-duty zero-emission (ZE) salt/snowplow truck. This effort aims to enable the commercialization of this critical vehicle type for cold-weather regions across the...

This $3,611,961 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086), aims to develop a hydrogen-fueled heavy-duty internal combustion engine. The project seeks to create an engine with high specific power (over 100% of diesel engine power), high efficiency (at least 44% parity with diesel baseline), and ultra-low emissions. The award was made to Mahle Powertrain,...

The project aims to advance sustainable transportation and energy technologies. As part of this...

This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under the Conservation Research and Development federal grant program (CFDA 81.086), provides $3,167,737 to Clemson University for the development and demonstration of a medium-duty off-road engine powered by renewable dimethyl ether (DME) with ultra-low NOx emissions. The key objectives are to develop a transient-capable medium-duty off-road engine that can operate on DME...

The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $70,000,000 Project Grant to Paccar Inc. under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253). The grant will support the partial conversion, expansion, and retooling of four of Paccar's existing internal combustion engine truck and components manufacturing facilities to enable zero-emission truck and component production capabilities. The project will also provide zero-emission vehicle (ZEV)...

The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $6,250,214 Cooperative Agreement to Ricardo LLC on August 15, 2024 under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) federal grant program. The funding supports the development of an innovative 3-in-1 inverter/on-board charger/auxiliary DC converter for electrified vehicle applications. The goal is to advance energy efficiency and decarbonization technologies in the transportation sector,...

This $6,000,000 Cooperative Agreement was awarded by the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087). The key goal is to advance clean hydrogen fueling technology and accelerate the adoption of hydrogen as a fuel for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. The project will design, build, commission, and test a mobile sub-cooled liquid hydrogen (SLH2) refueling system to demonstrate the...
