Welcome to the second edition of the NCCAR CarTech newsletter (click here for current issue). We have great news - NCCAR is open for industry previews and evaluations.

“Cash for Clunkers” has come and gone; the federal government has awarded $2.4 billion for battery electric developments and maybe we are on the rise from the recession. What an interesting time it has been.

Here at NCCAR, we are on path to "officially" open our facility in early 2010. The road course surface has been constructed perfectly - our tolerance of 1/8th of an inch over 10 feet has been achieved. The result is that it feels great and drives very well.

Several joint projects are currently underway. These include the NSF funded “driver assist” program; driverless vehicle development; a lithium battery research project; DoE/ NETL funded advanced IT infrastructure implementation and a potential advanced chassis dynamometer with Recovery Act funding. Details will follow.


As always, thank you for your consideration, interest and support.

Simon Cobb,
Chief Operating
Officer.
