摘要：	This introduction summarizes the objectives, progress and highlights of the program in FY 2012. The Propulsion Materials program actively supports the energy security and reduction of greenhouse emissions goals of the OVT Program by investigating and identifying the materials properties that are most essential for continued development of cost-effective, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly next-generation heavy and light duty powertrains. The technical approaches available to enhance propulsion systems focus on improvements in both vehicle efficiency and fuel substitution, both of which must overcome performance limitations of materials currently in use. The Propulsion Materials activities work with National Laboratories, industry experts, and OVT Program teams to develop strategies that overcome materials limitations in powertrain performance. The technical maturity of the portfolio of funded projects ranges from basic science to subsystem prototype validation.
