The NRC also recommended that the industry PNGV effort be led by a single technical director in charge of an integrated platform development team at USCAR. We agree that establishing a vehicle perspective is important and while we do not have a complete answer as yet, the industry does plan to add experienced vehicle engineers to each company PNGV team in the near future to guide the technology development program as it evolves.

Recommendation: Supplier and Universit. Involvement "The committee was informed that several workshops are being planned in the upcoming months to explore with university and industry representatives the scientific, engineering, and technological issues posed by the PNGV program....The committee recommends that the PNGV workshop structure be quickly expanded to more effectively involve these constituents and to provide them with a link to the PNGV program.
