ARPA-E (Tutorial E): Transformational Electrification of Planes, Trains and Ships

EVs are in the bag, trucks are on the way and while there is still so much work to do we have electrochemical solutions that deliver emission free road transportation. What about other vehicles such as Planes, Trains and Ships and indeed heavy duty-construction or agricultural equipment. Unlike cars, that spend 95% of the time doing nothing, these vehicles, vessels and aircraft are work horses often working over 16 hours a day and for more than 20 years. Can we develop electrochemical solutions for these vehicular monsters? In this presentation Dr. Cheeseman will explore the requirements, the challenges and technical strategies for tackling these energy hungry applications. Example of projects designed to address the need will be included.
