With our expertise in battery technology, power electronics, vehicle conversion, and renewable energy, TIAX is strongly positioned to accelerate the implementation of technologies for hybrid vehicles. These vehicles, especially Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), can address two key challenges facing the United States—reducing automotive tailpipe emissions and decreasing dependency on foreign sources of oil.
TIAX has created a Development Environment to advance hybrid vehicle technologies and address pivotal issues for automotive companies, electric utilities, battery developers, government agencies, and consumers. Combining detailed models, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, robust testing protocols, input from key stakeholders, and intensive laboratory facilities, our Development Environment enables the evaluation of technical, economic, and regulatory choices and the rapid development of promising technologies. Further, the TIAX Development Environment provides a test bed for preparing and maximizing the value of major demonstration programs.
TIAX is active across the range of important technologies, including:
- Alternative fuels
- Automotive drivetrains
- Battery technologies
- Fuel cell technologies
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning)
- Power electronics
- Tailpipe emissions
- Utility interfaces
