Summary

The transportation energy R and D goal is as follows: to develop the technology necessary to reduce transportation demand for crude oil and other fuels by improved efficiency, new designs with higher efficiencies, and utilization of alternative fuels. Specifically, in pursuit of this goal, the proposed transportation energy R and D program will reduce transportation dependence oil crude oil by 22% in the year 1985, 55% in the year 2000, and up to 100% after the year 2000 from the levels of consumption that otherwise would be experienced without the proposed program. The transportation sector is grouped into four subprograms --autos/trucks, air, rail/bus, and ships -- for purposes of this program development. The contribution of each to the overall goal, along with a summary of the transportation energy R and D program funding proposal, is presented. (auth)
