Abstract

The module provides a foundation in the current situation and short- and middle-term development directions of powertrain and automotive engineering in the context of passenger & goods transport. Corresponding energy sources and resulting consequences for the energy system are addressed. Participants will be enabled to identify potentials of these technologies and apply them to concrete problems.

Objective

Familiarity with conventional and alternative powertrain and automotive systems for future sustainable mobility, and the ability to identify and deploy their potential to address concrete problems.

Content

- Drive component efficiency rates and core fields - Drive and non-drive energy flow / Vehicle "driving resistance" - Energy chains (operating power only) and CO2 emissions to primary energy
