New Research to Aid Transit Engineers Design Better Energy Storage Systems

PR Newswire reported that researchers at Penn State’s Thomas D. Larson Pennsylvania Transportation Institute are conducting new research that can help transit engineers design better storage systems.

As quoted in the market news,

Electrical energy storage, rather than fuel combustion, has become a key component in transit fleets that are switching to more efficient hybrid and electric vehicles. To help engineers and technicians make that change, researchers at Penn State’s Thomas D. Larson Pennsylvania Transportation Institute, funded through a grant from the Mineta National Transit Research Consortium, studied lithium titanate oxide battery chemistry for use in transit buses.
