About ATTRP
Due to the growing and expanding market for personal vehicles and industrial development, in the
United States
and abroad, the demand for fossil fuels has experienced exponential growth. As such, we are faced with the prospect of $5.00/gal or more fuel costs in the near future. How do we as a nation respond to this problem?
We believe the solution is to continue making improvements to current power train technology while the development of new highly efficient drive trains continues. The development of domestically produced motor fuel(s), such as Hydrogen and Bio-Diesel is another “must” to maintaining affordable transportation. The use of public transportation is a cost effective option already available to a high percentage of commuters, but faster, more convenient and efficient transportation systems are being modeled and implemented.
ATTI and ATTRP with the
University
of
Tennessee
at
Chattanooga
are committed to validating advanced transportation systems through testing, demonstration and education.
