Der Ausbau nachhaltiger Elektromobilität ist eine der gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen
unserer Zeit, die im Forschungsprojekt eTa aufgegriffen wird.

The energy efficiency of vehicles is addressed in projects on aerodynamics and optimized operating strategies. In particular, the focus is also on non-classical vehicle concepts. Alternative mobility concepts based on non-fossil energy sources require new supply structures. The optimized expansion of charging infrastructure is therefore another topic. However, even the best mobility concept is useless if it is not accepted by society and implemented by politics and industry. Acceptance issues therefore represent a central element of eTa, which will be further expanded.

Based on the need to reduce energy consumption, the following areas will be addressed as a priority:

1. Vehicle efficiency
2. Alternative mobility concepts
3. Efficiency of mobility concepts
4. Technology acceptance

In particular, these are questions which arise only from the combined consideration of these subject areas and are usually not fully answered in classical manner. Examples of this are

• optimization of hybrid controls for muscle-electric hybrid light vehicles
• and study of the aerodynamics of ultralight vehicles where results of the classic wind tunnel tests often do not correspond to the results of the practice.

Other topics that we are dealing with are

• predictive operational strategies for electric combustion hybrid vehicles and loss optimization,
• optimization of multi-stage placement of charging stations,
• acceptance of alternative mobility concepts.
