Motor vehicles consist of a large number of different subsystems and components, the sum of which need to satisfy the desires of a wide range of customers in all conceivable situations. The development of a modern motor vehicle is therefore greatly influenced by finding solutions to a variety of trade-offs. The holistic and interdisciplinary approach required here necessitates expertise in the vehicle system.

Our scope of services in the area of the vehicle as a whole includes:

• Analysis of energy requirement and tractive resistances
• Evaluation of driving limits, as well as subjective driver feel
• Examination of comfort and safety
•  Analysis of vehicle concepts and power train concepts
• Contributions toward optimizing thermal management

Depending on the application, both commercially available and self-developed, computer-supported simulation tools are used, and experimental analyses are carried out.
