MOOC - Highly Automated Drive Engineer

Evaluation of Advanced Powertrain Vehicles (FCVs)

The last unit provides an insight into evaluation methodologies and focusses on the comparison of the vehicle types, which were introduced in the previous units.

Especially the methods Tank to Wheel (TtW), Well to Tank (WtT) and Well to Wheel (WtW) will be explained and compared with the complete life cycle analysis (LCA). Of course, the main focus is given on CO2 foot print comparison and on the amount of energy needed for obtaining the raw materials until recycling. In the last part, a conclusion and recommendation will be presented.


Alternatives and Conclusions:

The element provides an overview on the learnings of the previous elements and gives conclusions for the further development routes for advanced powertrain vehicles.
