One of the main technological challenges forced by CO2 reduction regulations in the automotive sector nowadays is the need to develop and implement efficient electric powertrains. To be able to cope with this change and be able to propose innovative solutions, engineers must be able to understand the domain-specific knowledge. In this 5 days training course the attendees get introduced to the different architectural concepts of electric powertrains. The participants will participate actively be involved in case studies and elaborate on the concepts of an electric powertrain architecture. The approach of „Learning by Doing“ is used to elaborate different forms of electric powertrains, analyze advantages and disadvantages, do a safety analysis and elaborate questions concerned with motor control.
