University of California Transportation Center, Working Papers from University of California Transportation Center

Abstract: FreedomCAR is the Bush administration's bid to reduce our reliance on oil. A successor to the Clinton administration's Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV), FreedomCAR is a research initiative designed to promote greater coordination between federal agencies and U.S. carmakers. In marked contrast to its predecessor, FreedomCAR shifts the research focus away from technologies close at hand to fuel cells, a family of products further down the road with far greater promise to reduce petroleum use and the air pollution that results from its combustion.
