Automotive Testing Technology International - Five minutes with: Dan Raudebaugh, executive director, Center for Transportation and the Environment, Georgia, USA
Please give us some background to the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE).
CTE develops, promotes and implements advanced transportation technologies, vehicles and fuels that reduce environmental pollution and fossil fuel dependency by providing engineering and planning consulting services. CTE’s prototype development and demonstration projects bring technology teams together to develop clean vehicle prototypes. We match these technology teams with fleet operators who are willing to test the vehicles in the markets they are designed to serve.
CTE has worked on battery-electric and fuel-cell-electric vehicle technologies for medium- and heavy-duty vehicle applications including transit buses, delivery vans, and Class 6 and Class 8 trucks. Our portfolio also includes transit automation technologies and fleet-scale charging and hydrogen fueling station deployment and demonstration. CTE has 60 staff members, 45% of whom are engineers.
