October 24, 2007 – Vol.12 No.31 GE Global Research Announces $6.8 Million in Funding to Advance Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. The funding will support two projects with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to develop higher performing hybrid drivetrain motors and advanced high energy density capacitors. These projects are co-funded by the DOE’s Office of Vehicle Technologies and managed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). The first project is a $5.6 million contract to develop smaller, lower cost, higher performing hybrid drivetrain motors for hybrid electric vehicles. The research is to culminate in a scalable family of hybrid vehicle interior permanent magnet motor designs that are validated by testing and ready to supply the US and global hybrid vehicle market. The second is a $1.2 million project, and separate DOE project, is to develop advanced high temperature, high energy density capacitors. GE researchers will be working on new capacitor materials and integrated device design in two phases over a three-year period. The capacitors would be used to capture the energy of braking. General Electric Global Research is one of the world's most diversified industrial research organizations, providing innovative technology for all of GE's businesses. (10/24/07)
