From Discovery to Deployment
An ecosystem to develop, test, and deploy electrified transportation technologies at scale.
ASPIRE advances electrified transportation by moving technologies from the laboratory to real-world transportation systems. ASPIRE’s innovation ecosystem connects universities, industry partners, national laboratories, and government agencies to develop, test, and deploy electrified transportation technologies at scale.
Innovative Research & Development
ASPIRE researchers develop the core technologies needed to enable scalable electrified transportation systems.
Training the Next Generation
Students play a central role in ASPIRE’s research ecosystem. Through hands-on research, internships, and industry collaboration, students gain experience developing and deploying electrified transportation technologies.
Real World Testing
ASPIRE is home to the nation’s largest electric vehicle and roadway test track where we help establish global standardization. We also work with state agencies, transportation planners, and industry partners to deploy and test innovative technologies in real-world environments.
Scaling Through Collaboration
ASPIRE has long championed collaborative engagement. We work with a broad ecosystem of industry partners, universities, national labs, and government agencies to scale innovations from the lab to pilots and beyond.
Coordinated efforts accelerate:
Innovating the Future of Electrification
Through research, workforce development, as well as large-scale deployments, ASPIRE is engineering the future of how we move people and goods — a future where electrification, intelligent energy systems, and resilient mobility come together to power the transportation grid of tomorrow.
