Hyundai America Technical Centre receives funding from US DOE
Project funding will be $4.95 million over 3 years and leverage existing work with advanced valve-train and previous DOE funded technologies. The project is part of Hyundai's advanced engine technology strategy and is planned to be used in future production vehicles as both stand-alone (engine only) and hybrid (PHEV, MHEV) configurations.
"The opportunity to explore mixed-mode engine technology through the DOE's grant signifies Hyundai's commitment to advanced research technology and compression engines," said John Juriga, director, Powertrain Technologies, Hyundai America Technical Centre. "The co-operative research project along with Michigan Technological University and Phillips 66 signifies the importance in developing fuel and engine innovations that work together for optimal vehicle performance and leading fuel economy ratings."
Hyundai Motor Group recently announced plans to introduce 38 eco-friendly models by 2025 and Hyundai Motor Company plans to introduce 18 models by 2025. This new development roadmap also represents the next step for Hyundai Motor toward realizing the ultimate ambition of creating a cleaner environment through eco-friendly vehicles.
"By investing in a broad range of technologies, the DOE is ensuring America remains at the forefront of innovation," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry. "Improving the affordability of transportation for American consumers and businesses keeps our economy moving."
