Argonne National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) research facility, is developing technologies that will help make advanced vehicles a reality. While our Transportation Technology R&D Center is relatively new, having been dedicated in September 1998, we've been conducting cutting-edge transportation research at Argonne for more than 30 years. Our staff of highly talented technical experts work in some of North America's most advanced research facilities to address complex transportation technology challenges.

Argonne's transportation research team brings together scientists and engineers from many disciplines to find cost-effective solutions to the problems of transporting people and goods from one place to another — issues like vehicle emissions and energy supply. Our primary sponsor is the DOE, but we are also working with other government agencies and the U.S. transportation industry to improve processes, create products and markets, and provide cost-effective transportation solutions in support of DOE goals.
