Project Summary

Global drivers like climate change due to CO2 emission and related future innovative developments (electric powertrain, new infrastructures to support electric drive, e-mobility concepts) have led to a 2030 agenda by the Automotive manufacturers and actions under the New skills agenda for Europe. One of the analysed key job roles to support the future developments in Automotive industry is to disseminate and train knowledge about the electric drive and powertrain.

This project aims to develop
– A skill set for an electric powertrain engineer
o including functional design and safety topics
o whole life cycle/production
– A set of training materials
– A Europe wide certificate for electric powertrain engineers in cooperation with ECQA and based on ECTS and ECVET schemas

The project includes the countries Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria which represent countries with major involvement in Automotive industry. It also includes Bulgaria which has an Automotive association with contacts in eastern Europe (suppliers to the countries mentioned before). To support the change from combustion engine to electric powertrain it is needed to attack this issue in parallel in countries which have a large contribution to Automotive design. The project will agree joint courses among the universities and towards the industry.

Measurable objectives:
– Skills set developed
– Training materials developed
– More than 100 electric powertrain engineers trained (university + industry) in 2 years
– Publication of 2 Springer articles in EuroSPI 2020, and 2021
