(3) develop more efficient processes for transferring research findings and technologies to industry;
(4) give consideration to conversion of existing or former vehicle technology manufacturing facilities for researching and developing advanced vehicle technologies and support public-private partnerships dedicated to overcoming barriers in commercial application of transformational vehicle technologies that utilize such industry-led facilities;
(5) promote the domestic production of such technologies;
(6) coordinate activities between relevant DOE programs and offices and other federal agencies;
(7) inform other agencies of the potential for demonstrating technologies funded by this Act; and
(8) support and utilize state and local government initiatives in advanced vehicle technology development.

Requires the Secretary to carry out a research, development, demonstration, and commercial application program of advanced vehicle manufacturing technologies and practices, including innovative processes to:
(1) increase the production rate and decrease the cost of advanced battery manufacturing;
(2) vary the capability of individual manufacturing facilities to accommodate different battery chemistries and configurations;
(3) reduce waste streams, emissions, and energy-intensity of vehicle, engine, advanced battery, and component manufacturing processes;
(4) recycle and remanufacture used batteries and other vehicle components for reuse in vehicles or stationary applications;
(5) produce cost-effective lightweight materials such as advanced metal alloys, polymeric composites, and carbon fiber;
(6) produce lightweight high pressure storage systems for gaseous fuels;
(7) design and manufacture purpose-built hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles and components;
(8) improve the calendar life and cycle life of advanced batteries; and
(9) produce permanent magnets for advanced vehicles.

(Sec. 104)

Authorizes activities under this Act to include construction, expansion, or modification of new and existing vehicle, engine, and component research and testing facilities for:
(1) testing or simulating interoperability of a variety of vehicle components and systems;
(2) subjecting vehicle platforms to fully representative duty cycles and operating conditions; and
(3) developing and demonstrating a range of chemistries and configurations for advanced vehicle battery manufacturing and test cycles for new and alternative fuels and other advanced vehicle technologies.

(Sec. 105)

Requires the Secretary to report to Congress:
(1) annually through 2015 on the technologies developed as a result of this Act, with emphasis on technologies that were successfully adopted for commercial applications and whether those technologies are manufactured in the United States; and
(2) annually on activities undertaken, active industry participants, efforts to recruit new participants, progress of the program in meeting goals and timelines, and a strategic plan for funding of activities across agencies.

(Sec. 107)

Requires the Secretary to establish an Innovative Automotive Demonstration Program, within the existing Vehicle Technologies Program, to encourage the introduction of new vehicles into the marketplace that are designed in their entirety to achieve very high energy efficiency but still provide the capabilities required by the American consumer. Requires awards to be made under such Program on a competitive basis for demonstration of vehicles that:
(1) carry at least four passengers;
(2) meet safety requirements;
(3) achieve at least 70 miles per gallon or the equivalent on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drive cycle;
(4) provide vehicle performance that is acceptable to the consumer;
(5) are affordable;
(6) use materials and manufacturing processes that minimize environmental impacts;
(7) meet all federal and state emission requirements; and
(8) provide new high technology engineering and production employment opportunities.Title II: Medium and Heavy Duty Commercial and Transit Vehicles -

(Sec. 201)

Requires the Secretary, in partnership with relevant research and development programs in other federal agencies and industry stakeholders, to carry out a program of cooperative research, development, demonstration, and commercial application activities on advanced technologies for medium- to heavy-duty commercial, recreational, and transit vehicles, including activities in the areas of:
(1) engine efficiency and combustion research;
(2) on board storage technologies for compressed and liquefied natural gas;
