Laboratory for Vehicle Drives
The Laboratory for Vehicle Drives combines expertise in conventional, hybrid and electric vehicles for use in teaching and research.
Various drive concepts are investigated, compared and evaluated in driving/test bench trials and using simulation models – examining various drive units, drive trains, emission behaviour and energy balances. Aspects of energy generation, various means of storage and conversion are considered with regard to economic efficiency. The laboratory facilities are also available for working on external contracts.
