The focus of the course is the powertrain for commercial vehicles predominantly in road operation. Special attention will be paid to the electrified powertrain, e.g. as a hybrid in different designs and as a pure electric motor powertrain. Presented are transmissions with power flow interruption during shifting or powershift capable, as central drive, as well as axles in their different designs, e.g. rigid axles, portal axles. Essential knowledge for the design of these powertrains and their subsystems, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, electric or electronic, will be imparted in the course.

Examples from industry, such as transmission load switching in dual electric machine concepts, provide the opportunity to learn the basics of software function development.
