U.S. DRIVE - Driving Research and Innovation for Vehicle Efficiency and Energy Sustainability

U.S. DRIVE (formerly known as FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership), which stands for Driving Research and Innovation for Vehicle efficiency and Energy sustainability, facilitates pre-competitive technical information exchange among experts who interact as equal partners to discuss R&D needs, develop joint goals and technology-specific roadmaps, and evaluate R&D progress for a broad range of technical areas. This collaboration enables peers to discuss pre-competitive R&D needs, identify solutions, and track progress toward shared technical goals. Additionally, it helps avoid duplicative efforts and ensures that publicly-funded research yields valuable results and addresses significant barriers to technology commercialization.U.S. DRIVE partners include the automobile industry, electric utilities, fuels industry, and federal government.
