The automotive sector is one of the most important economy sectors in the world. As it is a fast changing sector and requirements like increasing needs of comfort and new environmental standards are becoming more important, the development of innovative p ...
AustriaThe Austrian impulse programme A3plus is striving to make the transport of the future significantly more energy-efficient and more environmentally friendly by promoting research and development in the field of innovative propulsion technologies and altern ...
AustriaAs a result of increasing global integration and societal mobility, the international aeronautics industry is experiencing dynamic growth. It is one of the most sophisticated sectors with a strong influence on other industry and service sectors and air tr ...
AustriaR.E.W.I.- R.O.S.E. The rail system, especially freight rail transport is competing against modes having much lower noise and vibration emissions of the wheels. Also rehabilitation work often completely blocks tracks because of the absence of redundancies ...
AustriaELEK-TRA High emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases as well as high dependence on imported fossil fuels are the major problems the passenger vehicle sector has to face today. Another problem is the still low efficiency of passenger vehicles. Electr ...
AustriaHRS Passenger cars are particularly suitable for the use of hybrid propulsion technology due to the large spread in engine outputs. In addition, a significant reduction in fuel consumption is desirable. Furthermore, low pollutant emissions are attainable ...
AustriaNExBTL and FT-Diesel The potential of two alternative Diesel fuels, NExBTL from NesteOil® and Fischer-Tropsch- Diesel from “Biomassekraftwerk Güssing”, was investigated during the engine operation, concerning the reduction of exhaust emissions in the cour ...
AustriaS4HEV The development of future vehicle powertrains must ensure compliance with the increasingly stringent emissions legislation and achieve improvements in sustainability- in particular a significant reduction of CO2 emissions. Lower CO2 emissions in sho ...
AustriaASys1 During the operation of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) the energy consumption of vehicle and load unit components, such as heating and cooling, on-board electronics or cargo conditioning, contribute significantly to the truck's energy consumption. ...
AustriaLiHSA For electric vehicles high-performance batteries, lightweight construction and safety are essential. Currently, these are conflicting requirements. In this project the requirements for a secure lightweight battery housing are determined, and the dev ...
AustriaMEMBAT The industrial development of alternative hybrid-electric and pure electric automotive propulsion systems requires tremendous efforts in the areas of battery technology, power electronics, electric motors, as well as new approaches for energy-effic ...
AustriaZink-Luft-Akku Rechargeable batteries are a highly efficient means for storing energy. For battery-electric cars, lithium-ion and similar battery systems allow high drive ranges and short charging times. However, their use within the automotive sector is ...
AustriaDuraPEM Fuel cell technology represents a clean and efficient energy conversion with high energy density and range. So far, however, this pioneering technology could not penetrate the market and compete with conventional internal combustion engines in the ...
AustriaHigh FAME The demand for higher blending rates of biogenic fuels in the international market takes them into focus more and more. Currently, the biogenic components in diesel fuel are covered mainly by fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). When using these biof ...
AustriaModulTEG_2 In passenger cars about 15% of fuel burned is lost due to waste heat production. This of course varies with driving patterns and engine efficiency, but still constitutes a considerable share of fuel use, as well as of corresponding climate gas ...
AustriaOn-Board Powerplant Vehicles with electric drive train offer a good compromise between conventional drive concepts and all-electric vehicles regarding fuel consumption and range. They use the advantages of electrification (recuperation, electric propulsio ...
AustriaA3-FALCON For widespread use of PEMFC (low temperature Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells) stacks in automobiles, a prolongation of lifetime, an increase in efficiency as well as a substantial reduction of production costs are necessary. Several degradation m ...
AustriaBioFlame Future emissions from maritime traffic will be limited by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) III regulation, which means further reductions of nitric oxide and soot emissions. Therefore, large gas engines become a genuine alternative t ...
AustriaEKo-Lack In pure electric vehicles, the energy for heating the passenger compartment has to be taken from energy sources other than the waste heat of the internal combustion engine. If this energy is taken from the drive battery, this results in a reducti ...
AustriaHIEFF – Fuels & Oil In order to comply with future CO2 targets for passenger cars with gasoline engines, engines with reduced displacement in combination with direct injection and turbocharging were pushed in recent years. This engine downsizing allow ...
