CCEFP Vision
Fluid power is the technology of choice for power generation,
transmission, storage and motion control.
Educating the next
generation of leaders

Fluid Power for Off-road Vehicles Vision
Fluid power is the technology of choice for power generation,
transmission, storage and motion control.
The Off-road fluid power vision…
Is strategically aligned with our nation’s need to save energy.
Explains the difference between on and off-road vehicle needs.
Offers a complete system package from energy source to end
use functions for off-road vehicles.
Allows use of existing manufacturing and distribution networks by
using liquid fuel as the energy carrier.
Leverages the on-going research work at the CCEFP and its
existing large industry base.
Opens many new opportunities as the power generation, storage
and power transmission systems are integrated.

Commercial Off-road Vehicle Efficiency R&D
Program
• Capitol Hill visitors
– CCEFP/NFPA: Kim Stelson, Mike Gust, Eric Lanke
– Industry: Bosch Rexroth, Caterpillar, Danfoss, Deltrol Fluid
Products, Eaton, Hydra-Power Systems, Parker, Moog
– ~30 minute presentations to key Senate and House staffers.
• Language in appropriation bill for water and energy.
“Appropriation of an additional $5 Million above the DOE’s budget
request for the Vehicles Systems portion of the Vehicle Technologies
Office account to issue a competitive solicitation in order to improve the
energy efficiency of fluid power systems for off-road vehicles.”
5
DOE Program Description
• Five ~$1 million, 2-year projects made up of industryacademic teams
• 10-20% industry match including in-kind support
• We need to begin creating a project team portfolio
6
What’s next
DOE Office of Energy Efficiency &
Renewable Energy OPTIMA Program
• $27 million included in 2016
budget request
• Next step is to draft a 3-year R&D
plan and project roadmap
7
Connected vehicles
•
In early 2014 DOT announced the intention to
require vehicle to vehicle communication device
and the final decision is expected to arrive soon.
•
At this year’s transportation research board
(TRB) annual meeting (Jan. 2016 in DC),
connected vehicles become the dominant topic.
–
Communication standard, traffic planning, vehicle
technology, powertrain system, energy and environment
etc.
•
ARPA-E has issued a request for information
early this year on energy savings through
connected vehicles.
•
A call for proposal is expected from ARPA-E on
this topic this year.
8
Accomplishment and Action Items
Accomplishment since March 2016:
•
Working with SMI to continuously monitoring the legislation process to
ensure the passing of the new off-road vehicle R&D program.
•
Submitted a concept paper to the Arpa-e connected vehicles call for
proposal.
•
Contacted Argonne National Lab to understand how CCEFP can fit in
the OPTIMA program.
Action Items:
•
Helping DOE vehicle technology office (VTO) to define the scope of the
off-road vehicles R&D program
•
Continue to explore the DOE OPTIMA program
•
Explore opportunities for connectivity R&D for off-road vehicles and fluid
power.

Human Scale Fluid Power Vision
Fluid power is the technology of choice for power generation,
transmission, storage and motion control.
•
Human scale fluid power systems categorized as
<10kW.
•
Includes Industrial Automation, Human Assist &
Therapeutic Devices, Medical Devices/Robots,
Exoskeletons and Military Robots
•
The fluid power industry would benefit greatly from
“white space” organic growth.
•
Tremendous interest is forming on the horizon.
•
There is still time for the fluid power industry to get
involved and shape the future.
•
Government seed funding for pre-competitive
research is needed.

Vanderbilt University Human Scale Fluid
Power Conference
Conference Objectives
1. Inform attendees of CCEFP human scale fluid power vision and
strategy.
2. Identify strategically aligned federal agencies that are sources of
funding.
3. Form industry & academic teams to pursue federal funding.
4. Form initial strategies for each targeted agency (time permitting).
11
Human scale fluid power summit summary
• Strong industry interest in collaboration. Teams and potential partners
identified.
• Common markets and applications identified: surgery, hospital & nursery
homes, in-home care, rehabilitation, quality of life, agriculture, forestry,
mining, construction, factory, package delivery, baggage handling, sports
training, battlefield, and underwater
• Candidate technologies: MRI pneumatics, prostheses, orthoses, soft
robotics, exoskeletons, autonomous robots, cooperative robots and
service robots
• Areas of research need: Compact, light-weight power supplies; miniature FP
components & integration; safe operation, sensors and controls, vision &
positioning, and enhanced HMI
12
Focus is on human assist devices that provide human
enhancement, restore human function or provide therapy.

Fluid Power Manufacturing Vision
Fluid power is the technology of choice for power generation,
transmission, storage and motion control.
The CCEFP fluid power manufacturing strategy is not yet approved. Target approval date is
October 2016. However key elements that will undoubtedly be included are…
• Highlight the importance of fluid power and raise awareness to key government agencies
including NSF, DOD, DOE and NIST.
• Stress the importance of its manufacturing to our nation’s economy and security
• Promote the integration of fluid power technologies into systems and design tools such as
CAD/CAM
• Integrated target areas include Design, Manufacturing, Materials, and Control
• Manufacturing specific areas include additive manufacturing, digital manufacturing, big data,
precision systems and quality control / SPC
• The manufacturing roadmap efforts currently underway will be the cornerstone of our strategy
and future tactics
