Phase I I/UCRC Arizona State University Site: Center for Efficient Vehicles and Sustainable Transportation Systems (EV-STS).

I期I/UCRC亚利桑那州立大学站点：高效车辆和可持续交通系统中心（EV-STS）。亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）将帮助建立和运营一个多机构的高效车辆和可持续交通系统（EV-STS）行业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC），作为两个特许站点之一（路易斯维尔大学将主办另一个特许站点）。这样一个中心是支持美国汽车/地面运输行业所需要的吗？为了满足新的联邦法规对车辆燃油经济性和排放的要求，以及社会的要求，我们期望在经济和个人活动中提高可持续性。EV-STS中心将吸引行业？的关键利益相关者-车辆制造商，零部件和系统供应商，车队运营商，地面运输行业基础设施提供商，以及州和地方政府-在确定重要的效率/可持续性相关问题，并制定研究计划，开发创新的解决方案。EV-STS中心及其ASU网站的使命是利用企业，政府，和学术合作伙伴进行和传播行业相关的技术和工具，促进设计，制造，部署和能源效率，环境可持续的地面车辆的操作研究。这一使命的范围包括客车汽车、轻型和重型卡车以及机动越野设备。它既包括车辆级技术，也包括包含地面车辆的基础设施和运输系统。该使命分为四个主要推动领域：全电动汽车的动力系统和整个电混合动力系统，包括电池，电机，电力电子，热管理，包装等，先进的内燃机和替代燃料、非动力系统车辆系统以及地面运输系统和基础设施。在EV-STS中，ASU的研究重点将是实现可持续的电动汽车。现场特定的主题领域可能包括电力电子，电力电子器件，系统集成以及用于集成车辆连接的可穿戴健康监测电子设备的材料和工艺，以确保驾驶员安全和整体运输系统安全。

Phase I I/UCRC Arizona State University Site: Center for Efficient Vehicles and Sustainable Transportation Systems (EV-STS).Arizona State University (ASU) will help establish and operate a multi-institution Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Efficient Vehicles and Sustainable Transportation Systems (EV-STS) as one of two charter sites (University of Louisville will host the other charter site). Such a center is needed to support the U.S. automotive/ground transportation industry?s efforts to meet demanding new federal regulations governing vehicle fuel economy and emissions, as well as society?s expectations for improved sustainability in economic and personal activities. The EV-STS center will engage the industry?s critical stakeholders - vehicle manufacturers, component and system suppliers, fleet operators, ground transportation industry infrastructure providers, and state and local governments - in identifying important efficiency/sustainability related problems, and formulating a research program that develops innovative solutions.The mission of the EV-STS center and its ASU site is to leverage collaborations among corporate, government, and academic partners to conduct and disseminate industry-relevant research on technologies and tools that facilitate the design, manufacture, deployment, and operation of energy efficient, environmentally sustainable ground vehicles. The scope of this mission includes passenger cars, light- and heavy duty trucks, and motorized off-road equipment. It encompasses both vehicle-level technologies, and the infrastructure and transportation systems that incorporate ground vehicles. The mission is divided into four primary thrust areas: powertrains for full-electric vehicles and the entire continuum of electric-hybrid powertrains, including batteries, electric machines, power electronics, thermal management, packaging, etc., advanced internal combustion engines and alternative fuels, non-powertrain vehicle systems, and ground transportation systems and infrastructure. Within EV-STS the ASU site will have a research focus on realizing sustainable electrified vehicles. Site-specific topic areas are likely to include power electronics, power electronics device, system integration, and materials and processes for integration for vehicle-connected wearable health monitoring electronics for driver safety and overall transportation system safety.
