IFA – Institute for Innovative Automotive Drives

Going forward, mobility needs to be safe and reliable as well as environmentally and socially acceptable. As a major bedrock of the economic and social system, it represents one of the focal areas of research at Kempten University of Applied Sciences, with many experts in mobility conducting research into alternative drives, networked mobility and driver assistance systems. 

An important element of this research and development work takes place under the auspices of the IFA – Institute for Innovative Automotive Drives in Kempten (formerly TT Electric Mobility – Kempten), focusing on drive technologies in the areas of electric mobility, hydrogen and connected mobility.

Electromobility in teaching

The topic of electromobility also has a major impact on teaching. The findings from research flow back directly into the lecture theatre – thus giving young scientists an insight into the current status in practice. Even closer to hands-on applications is the student Infinity Racing Team at Kempten University of Applied Sciences, which repeatedly puts up impressive performances in competitions. Last but not least, the direct contact that students have with companies in the e-mobility sector as part of their degree programmes also plays an important role in teaching and learning.
