Vehicles Technologies Budget

The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Vehicle Technologies Program (VTP) receives appropriations funding as shown in the table below. This program and its projects are important to the HFI in terms of providing the R&D necessary to make fuel cell vehicles technically and cost effective.
