In the latest round of funding, three companies — Evenergi Workhorse Group Inc. and HiPer Fiber — were awarded a total of $260,000 from MFP, a project of the Michigan Office of Future Mobility and Electrification, Michigan Economic Development Corp. and the Michigan Department of Transportation. The mobility funding project has dispersed more than $3.1 million since May 2020 to companies advancing mobility technology.HiPer Fiber will deploy its advanced steel fiber technology in a bridge to be constructed in St. Clair County. The findings will aid in understanding some of the challenges associated with transitioning the fleet to electric vehicles . “Frequently, agencies will not consider new technology unless they see that it has been successfully implemented elsewhere. We hope that this project will be the catalyst that will spark much broader usage of this technology in the state of Michigan and beyond.”
