Two DOE Vehicle Technologies Win 2012 R&D 100 Awards R&D
Magazine's R&D 100 Awards recently recognized two technologies
supported by the Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO). An
independent panel of judges confers these awards on what they
view as the past year's most outstanding technology developments
with promising commercial potential. The awards, which are now
in their 50th year, have highlighted many of the successes
achieved by the Department's national laboratories in moving
