Working with CAR

At the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) we provide faculty with the right tools to advance their careers and assist with their research, giving them an edge in this competitive field.

“CAR is unique in the way it connects the academia with the industry. It does not put any constraints on the nature of the basic research conducted by the faculty and the students, and yet it perfectly facilitates the utilization of the resulting basic insights in solving the most relevant problems facing the automotive industry.”

"I have always enjoyed working with CAR due to the incredible staff that assists in assuring our research projects with both NHTSA and industry run smoothly.  I know with CAR’s support I can focus on the research, while CAR will handle many of the other requirements necessary with research grants and contracts.  I have also always admired the opportunities they provide for students at Ohio State.  Through research associated with CAR I have had the opportunity to discover some of my hardest working most successful graduate students."
