We Deliver Hands-On HEV Activities
The Michigan Tech Mobile Lab is a fully outfitted laboratory that can come to you for your private or public event. We partner with government, industry, and nonprofit organizations to deliver HEV education, outreach, and research across the nation.
Housed in an expandable, double-wide trailer, this lab is like no other. It’s pulled by a class 8 semi truck with a Detroit Diesel DD15 engine, the latest in heavy-duty diesel technology. Wi-fi accessible throughout, the mobile lab’s desks, chairs, and workspaces can be reconfigured to suit. The mobile lab features a powertrain test cell, configurable hybrid electric vehicle, three other state-of-the-art hybrid vehicles, a portable chassis dynamometer, a “smart” interactive microgrid, and more.
