Synergy: Sure, it’s a buzzword, but it’s also in the name of an award! Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Canada in November won the 2019 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s Synergy Award for Innovation. The NSERC award comes from a partnership between FCA Canada and the McMaster Automotive Research Center that has proved quite fruitful and … dare I say … synergistic.
FCA Canada partners with MARC, part of McMaster University in Ontario, to develop electrified powertrains and vehicle components. Dr. Ali Emadi, who heads up the “Electrified Vehicles: The Car of the Future” project, said that FCA’s expertise has helped build a robust research and development program for the university.
