The main areas of application are powertrains and on-board energy supplies.

Examples of previously conducted investigations are the following:

• Real-world consumption by vehicles as compared to standard consumption
• Driver influence on energy consumption of auxiliary assemblies
• Energy and power requirements, as well as the savings potential, of electric steering systems
• Determination of the energy recovery potential for a vehicle to be hybridized
• Determination of the actual energy recovery for a hybrid vehicle
• Reduction of energy consumption through the use of ACC online classification of driver style influence on the energy flow in electric vehicles (in progress)
