## CAREM

**Centre of Automotive Research and Electric Mobility​​**

\
\
**Overview & Aspiration** 

The Centre of Automotive Research and Electric Mobility (CAREM) was conceptualised from the outcome of UTP R&D Masterplan in 2002 which outlined transportation as one of the focus areas of research and development for the University. The Centre was set¬up from the funds of two major grants under the IRPA-PR from The Ministry of Science, Technology and innovation (MOSTI) in 2003.\
\

**Vision**

The vision of CAREM is to be a leader in fuel, engine and vehicle technology development for future

**\
Facilities & Lab Equipment**

CAREM has well-equipped laboratories and facilities to support its research endeavors such as engine (single and multi-cylinder) and chassis dynamometer supported with high-end PCs for the modeling and simulation works. The hardware and software in the centre are\
\

**Software**

- CATIA v5\
- Kiva 4.0 Engine simulation software\
- GT SUITE (GT-Power, GT-Crank, GT-Vtrain, GT-Drive, GT-Fuel)\

**Test Beds**
