DOE Releases a Notice of Intent for 2022 Advanced Vehicle Technologies Funding
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy announced a notice of intent to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled “Fiscal Year 2022 Vehicle Technologies Office Program Wide FOA.” The potential FOA will advance research, development, demonstration, and deployment in several areas critical to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, including advancement of electric drive technologies using less rare-earth metal, materials and structures innovations to reduce the weight of battery electric vehicles, electrification of non-road vehicles, improvements in off-road vehicle charging, improved efficiency of engines using low-carbon fuels, and deployment of these technologies among diverse communities.
DOE anticipates including the following topics of interest in the FOA:
Batteries and Electrification
1. Electric Drive System Innovations
2. Off-Road Electric Vehicle Charging Concepts
Materials Technology
3. Powertrain Material for Battery Electric Vehicles
4. Multi-Functional Material and Structures Research and Development
Decarbonization of Off-Road, Rail, and Marine Technologies
5. a. Natural Gas Engine Demonstration for Off-Road, Rail, and Marine Applications
