Perspectives for the Future of Automotive Powertrains

摘要

Based on recent publications and conferences an overview is compiled for the kind of applied automotive drives in the foreseeable future, especially with regard to the use of renewable, regenerative energies. The contribution begins with a summary of liquid and gaseous fossil and synthetic fuels, including e-fuels and bio-fuels. Then the CO2legislations for 2030 are considered and their consequences for combustion engines. Some properties of battery-electric drives, different hybrid drives and fuel-cell drives are discussed. This allows to compare their energy consumption, emissions, driving ranges, charging or tanking facilities. Then a forecast is derived for the used powertrains in 2030. The contribution serves as introduction to the invited session on "Future automotive drives and the role of automatic control".
