The special vehicle research institute, formerly known as the vehicle laboratory, was established in 1950.Its name waschanged to the special vehicle research institute when the school of mechanical engineering institutional reformed in 2011. The special vehicle research institute is mainly engaged in the teaching, research, experiment and related product development of armored and normal vehicle engineering.
At present, the special vehicle research institute has 29 faculty members, including 6 professors, 12 associate professors, 3 senior engineers and senior laboratory technicians, among whom 1 people is selected for “100 million talents project in the new century”, 4 people are selected for “Cross century outstanding talents”, 4 people were selected into the “511 talent project of the national defense science and technology industry”, and 3 people were selected as the chief scientist of “973 Projects”. There are also 1 “Yangtze River scholars and innovation team development team” and 1 “National defense science and technology innovation team” in the special vehicle research institute.

Through the efforts of several generations, the whole staff's age structure and knowledge structure are constantly optimized. It has formed an academic team with young people, high educational level, active academic thinking and a certain influence in the automobile industry.
At present, the special vehicle research institute is mainly responsible for the teaching tasks of the specialized courses of armored vehicle engineering and the specialized courses for the graduate students of vehicle engineering. Armored vehicle engineering is a senior technical personnel training base for armored vehicle engineering research and development. In the “eleventh five-year plan” and “twelfth five-year plan”, armored vehicle engineering major has been awarded the major construction of national defense key construction and the specialty of the higher school of the ministry of education. “Tank Theory”was awarded the national quality course in 2008.The professional core curriculum teaching team was awarded the excellent teaching team of Beijing in 2010.The relevant teaching achievements were awarded with 1 second prize of Beijing teaching achievement and 3 awards of the school teaching award. One person was awarded one of the outstanding teachers in Beijing.
The research direction of the special vehicle research institute mainly focuses on the field of military vehicle transmission, including integrated transmission technology, electromechanical composite transmission technology, wheeled vehicle transmission technology, stepless steering technology, hydraulic transmission technology, braking technology, transmission system dynamic design technology, transmission system control technology, transmission system integration and prediction design technology, land and air amphibious vehicle technology, etc.
