Abstract

This is the first report of the National Research Council's Standing Committee to Review of the Research Program of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV). The committee was established in July 1994 to conduct an independent review of the PNGV program at the request of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The PNGV program is a cooperative research and development program between the federal government and the United States Council for Automitive Research (USCAR). The goals of the program are: 1) significantly improving national competitiveness in manufacturing; 2) implementing commercially viable innovation from ongoing research on conventional vehicles; and 3) developing a vehicle to achieve up to three times the fuel efficiency of today's comparable vehicles while maintaining or improving current levels of performance, size, utility, and total cost of ownership and while meeting or exceeding federal safety and emissions requirements.
