Research

The chair has made a name for itself with publicly funded basic research projects (DFG, AiF) and application-orientated industrial research. The intensive co-operation with leading vehicle manufacturers and the supplier industry is particularly noteworthy. The topics of the theses and dissertations are recruited from the co-operation with the industrial companies, which results in very good entry opportunities for the students.

Teaching at the Chair of Energy Conversion Systems for Mobile Applications (EMA) includes the internal combustion engine and all related topics, but electromobility and fuel cells are also becoming increasingly important. The name ‘Energy Conversion Systems for Mobile Applications’ (EMA) recognises this.

The chair is equipped with several engine test benches, a battery simulator, injection test benches, special measurement set-ups and extensive measurement technology. The most important subject areas are listed here to provide an overview:
