Design and management of green powertrains
Expertise in thermal management & simulation of storage systems, like batteries and metal hydrates
Integration and interface of vehicles with power grid
Efficient propulsion and storage systems for innovative mobility
The Green Powertrains Lab develops and tests electric and hybrid propulsion systems – for clean and smart mobility.
The propulsion systems of the future provide more than just transportation. They’re smart energy solutions: clean, efficient and adaptable. Beyond powering vehicles from A to B, they act as power storage units and intelligent partners in the power grid. The Green Powertrains Lab develops, tests and optimises batteries and traction systems for electric and hybrid vehicles – with a clear goal: to shape forward-thinking technologies for the mobility of tomorrow.
The lab is equipped with cutting-edge tools for the electrical and thermal characterisation of battery cells – from high-safety climatic chambers to precision cyclers for precise charge and discharge testing of batteries. It also designs and evaluates thermal management solutions for battery cells, modules and packs, also with novel chemistries.
As a committed partner of the industry and research institutions driving the mobility transition, the Green Powertrains Lab offers more than testing and simulation. It delivers ideas, strategies and system-level concepts for the integration of mobility and energy systems. This includes forward-looking scenarios such as vehicle-to-grid, where electric vehicles function as mobile energy storage units, as well as hydrogen-based propulsion systems using fuel cells and electrolysers.
