The goal of the Office of Transportation Systems conservation program is twofold: to improve the efficiency with which the transportation sector uses petroleum and to enhance the flexibility of fuel use options in transportation-related technologies. This goal is underscored by the fact that these technologies can have a potentially significant impact on the US and world oil and automotive markets, as well as effecting improvements in air quality. OTS research is directed toward advanced propulsion systems, materials compositions, and alternative fuels that will assist the US transportation industries in becoming more competitive and the nation more economically secure.
