Engine, Emissions & Vehicle Research
Designing and developing vehicle and engine components to achieve performance and emissions goals
The Engine, Emissions and Vehicle Research Division conducts design, development, and test programs on a wide range of components, engines, transmissions, and vehicles. This is supported by research and modeling of fuel mixing, combustion, tribology, filtration, structural analysis, NVH, and fluid flow analysis. The division organizes multi-client cooperative industry research programs in many areas to help manufacturers achieve lower exhaust emissions and to increase fuel economy. The division also develops specialized instruments, control systems, test apparatus, and data acquisition systems to aid in achieving engine and vehicle performance and emissions goals.
The Engine, Emissions and Vehicle Research Division and Fuels and Lubricants Division are certified to ISO 9001:2008 "Quality Management Systems - Requirements" and ISO 14001:2004 "Environmental Management Systems." The Engine and Emissions Research Department is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories." The division has also achieved Ford Tier I status for providing engineering services and has received the Ford Q1 Quality Award.
