SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of Heavy Vehicle Technologies
(OHVT), is seeking applications for cost-shared research and
development for truck Essential Power Systems (EPS). Trucks include
Class 2b through Class 8. The Essential Power System is a cross-cutting
technology area (technologies and systems) that seeks to provide more
efficient, practical, and cost effective management of electrical,
mechanical, and thermal power on trucks. The EPS provides a possible
technology pathway for future truck electrification.
DATES: Applications are to be received no later than 3 p.m. local
prevailing time on August 26, 2002. Any application received after the
due date will not be evaluated.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Evan M. Dunne, Contract Specialist,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The solicitation will be available on the
internet on or about July 12, 2002 at the following web site: http://
doe-iips.pr.doe.gov/. Applications must be prepared and submitted in
accordance with the instructions and forms contained in the
solicitation. Teaming arrangements are strongly encouraged, especially
among truck original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) and manufacturers
of powertrain/engine and truck systems, to take advantage of the best
complementary technologies available from the different companies/
organizations. Participation of universities, small businesses, state
and local governments, Indian tribes, and DOE Laboratories is also
encouraged. It is desired by DOE that the primary applicant be an
industrial partner. This promotes timely technology transfer to the
private sector and enhances U.S. industrial competitiveness.
