F+E

From the idea to series production; this is the motto of the R&D activities of the research area. In the particular field of special drives such as two-wheeler vehicles, recreation vehicles, work equipment and energy converters, the department's field of work includes the following activities:

• Theoretical basic research and studies

• Concepts and developments for vehicles and vehicle drives, in particular two-wheelers and recreation vehicles as well as energy converters

• Design and assessment of hybrid and electric drives

• Development of conventional and novel combustion processes including alternative and near CO2 neutral fuels

• Simulation of energy conversion systems, combustion processes, flow processes and piston engines using flow simulations, finite element methods and multi-body dynamics

• Design and layout of drive systems from experimental test vehicles to production vehicles in the two-wheeler range

• Development and integration of electrical sensors and powertrain control systems

• Experimental investigations and development on engine test benches, chassis dynamometers and on the road

• Homologation: noise, exhaust, engine power, AMK

• engine process calculation 

• Consulting
