We all need to get around -- but so does freight, and food, and even space cargo. To that end, Purdue researchers focus on making engines more efficient in cars and trucks, and perfecting the acoustics of tires and cabin interiors. They explore autonomous vehicles, and how they can actually make the roads safer. They work with aircraft companies to develop the next generation of jet engines. And they investigate the infrastructure of roads and systems, lending engineering expertise to one of the most vital industries in the world.
