Organisation Description: The Sloan Automotive Laboratory, part of the Laboratory for Energy and the Environment at the MIT conducts research on future transportation technology, especially engines and fuels, with the aim of realizing new opportunities and reducing constraints related to engine performance, efficiency, and emissions. Major theme areas are: engine combustion, emissions, and fuel requirements; engine lubrication, friction, and wear; engine diagnostics and use of diagnostic information; and new engine concepts and their practical realization. The laboratory has two industry-sponsored consortiums: the Engine and Fuels Research Consortium and the Engine Lubrication Consortium. Also, the laboratory works with the combustion faculty in the Department of Chemical Engineering, the Plasma Fusion Center (on their plasmatron fuel reformer), the fuels experts in LFEE, and the broader mobility community at MIT. It is actively involved in assessments of new automotive technology options such as hybrids and fuel cells.
