- The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) supports research, development (R&D), and deployment of efficient and sustainable transportation technologies that will improve energy efficiency, fuel economy, and enable America to use less petroleum. To accelerate the development and adoption of new technologies, VTO has developed specific targets for a wide range of powertrain technologies (e.g., engine, battery, electric machine, lightweighting, etc.). The objective of the paper is to quantify the impact of VTO R&D on vehicle energy consumption and cost compared to expected historical improvements across vehicle classes, powertrains, component technologies and timeframes. A large scale simulation process was used to develop and simulate tens of thousands of vehicles on US standard driving cycles using Autonomie. Results demonstrate significant additional reduction in both cost and energy consumption due to VTO R&D targets compared to historical predicted trends.
