Basics and Practice of Automotive Transmissions, Hybrid and Electric Drives
Objective
During the introductory day newcomers and beginners will get an overview of the basics of conventional, hybrid and electric drives.
About the instructors
The Introductory Day will be held by the Institute of Automotive Engineering (IAE), Technical University Braunschweig, Germany and Prof. Dr Tong ZHANG and his team from College of Automotive Studies, Tongji University, China. The IAE under the direction of Prof. Dr Ferit Küçükay is the leading institute in Germany for automotive transmission development and research. The IAE holds this Introductory Day regularly also as an integral part of the European CTI Symposium in Berlin. College of Automotive Studies (CAS) of Tongji University was established in 2002 and approved as a key national new energy vehicle research and development institution. Prof. Dr Tong ZHANG is the director of the college academic committee and fuel cell vehicle technology institute.
