Middle Tennessee State University is partnering with two Turkish universities to pursue groundbreaking automotive research and development surrounding the plug-in hybrid technology developed by an MTSU professor. MTSU has signed a letter of intent with Meliksah University and Firat University in Turkey to pursue an academic and industrial partnership to further develop Dr. Charles Perry's retrofit wheel-hub motor. Perry has gained international attention for his technology, which has the potential to cut a vehicle's fuel consumption by half or more by turning it into a hybrid powered by gasoline and electricity.
