Energy Efficient Process Chains for the Production of Powertrains

Mobility is one of the major drivers of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The project Powertrain 2025 addresses this issue through the optimization of selected powertrain components in terms of friction, weight and service life to achieve savings in GHG during use. Energy efficient process chains and improved tool concepts enable this optimization. As a result, significant increases in energy efficiency can be achieved both in production and in usage of the powertrain components. A holistic, environmental evaluation, which visualizes optimization potentials and enables energy and resource efficient production control, completes this work.
