Excludes budget authority for Vehicle Technologies, which includes the FreedomCAR
and Fuel Partnership and the 21st Century Truck Partnership. The Vehicle
Technologies R and D program focuses on improving the energy efficiency of
vehicles by developing lightweight materials, advanced batteries, power electronics,
and electric motors for hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles, and advanced combustion
engines and fuels.
