IACMI’s Scale Up Research Facility in Detroit managed and operated Michigan State University will partner with Ford, GM and others on projects aimed at lightweight and high-performance fiber-reinforced polymer composites for vehicle applications

DOE Announces Funding for Projects Supporting Advanced Composites for Vehicle Applications
 
IACMI and partners ORNL and MSU highlighted in announcement

On Thursday, July 16, U.S. Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette announced DOE support for $139 million in funding for 55 projects across the country that will support new and innovative advanced vehicle technologies across 16 topic areas.
 
The DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is funding these projects, which includes support for DOE’s Energy Storage Grand Challenge.  Among the highlights of the announcement is $15 million for two projects aimed at lightweight and high-performance fiber-reinforced polymer composites for vehicle applications, one led by Ford, and the second by GM.  The projects are part of a collaboration between the DOE EERE Vehicles Technology Office (VTO) and Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) and IACMI innovation partners ORNL and Michigan State University were noted for their important role in the projects.
 
“This is a great reflection of the value IACMI and our core partners are providing to the national composites community by creating unique validation capacity and the related expertise impactful to our U.S. manufacturers,” said John Hopkins, IACMI CEO. “These AMO-VTO collaboration projects build off the foundations that our partners and extended teams have created and will create new opportunities for the IACMI consortium community as we move forward.”
