I/UCRC Planning Grant: EV-TEC Site for Realization of Energy Efficient Ground Vehicles

路易斯维尔大学（UL）电动汽车运输和电力融合（EV-TEC）I/UCRC的计划站点将重点研究实现节能地面车辆（REEGV）。主题领域包括混合动力和混合动力电动动力系统、轻量化结构、用于车辆结构优化的高性能计算工具、传统动力系统、摩擦损失管理和先进的汽车制造方法。路易斯维尔大学J.B. Speed School of Engineering致力于在规划期结束前开发和推出汽车工程跨学科研究生证书课程，一年后推出汽车工程跨学科硕士课程。该大学和汽车工程师协会（SAE）计划在该地区建立一个专业分会，以支持该行业。最后，UL网站将赞助REEGV研究研讨会系列、学生项目和SAE Supermileage团队。

The planned University of Louisville (UL) site of the Electric Vehicle Transportation and Electricity Convergence (EV-TEC) I/UCRC will have a research focus on realizing energy efficient ground vehicles (REEGV). Topic areas include hybrid and hybrid electric powertrain systems, lightweight structures, high performance computing tools for vehicle architecture optimization, conventional powertrains, frictional loss management, and advanced automotive manufacturing methods. The University of Louisville J.B. Speed School of Engineering has committed to developing and launching an interdisciplinary graduate certificate program in automotive engineering by the end of the planning period, followed by an interdisciplinary Master of Science program in automotive engineering one year later. The university and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) plans to establish a professional chapter in this region in support of the industry. Finally the UL site will sponsor an REEGV research seminar series, student projects, and an SAE Supermileage team.
