There is an increasing demand today to produce more environment friendly vehicles. The combustion engines of today can be improved but in the long run there has to be a change of technology. It will start with electric hybrid vehicles and a possible continuation is with vehicles driven by fuel cells. In parallel to this development the vehicles will contain more and more electrically supplied auxiliary systems.
The course covers both system and component aspects of the propulsion system, as well as the auxiliary systems. Emphasis is put on vehicles based on hybrid and/or fuel cells solutions.

Vehicles of today – propulsion and auxiliary systems.
Driving factors for environment friendly vehicles.
Propulsion and auxiliary systems for hybrid vehicles.
Generic components.
System concepts and simulations.
Development trends.
Aim of the course is to give a broad insight into alternative solutions for conversion of primary energy to transport activity for road vehicles. Different types of fuel (fossile, bio, …), different types of conversion methods (FC, ICE, HEV), different topologies and auxiliary power systems are considered.

N.B. Courses EJ2410 Hybrid Vehicle Drives and EJ2440 Electric Transportation, contain to a certain extent the same material. It is therefore not possible to include both courses for the same degree. A complementary course to EJ2410 Hybrid Vehicle Drives can be EJ2400 Electric Traction.
