How WPI research is improving the vehicles and roads that keep Americans and their goods on the move.
More than 260 million cars and trucks ply America’s byways and highways. At WPI, faculty members and graduate students in a number of disciplines are at work on advanced research that seeks to make these vehicles more fuel efficient, less polluting, and safer, while also bolstering the infrastructure they travel along and finding ways to reuse their component materials once they come to the end of the road.
