Through USCAR, FCA US, Ford and General Motors bring together the best minds from the U.S. automotive industry, government agencies and laboratories, private business (suppliers) and educational institutions to advance important, socially responsible automotive issues related to energy, the environment and safety.
Together, we are able to do more, better, and faster, while achieving significant cost efficiencies. These research tasks would be far more difficult, potentially redundant and, and in many instances, impossible to achieve as quickly by individual companies.
