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
