Field of Work
The research conducted by Prof. Hans-Christian Reuss is focused on motor vehicle mechatronics. This includes wiring systems and energy management, the connectivity and architecture of electronic systems, software and diagnosis tools, powertrain optimization and research into hybrid vehicles.
The aim of this research is to create sustainable vehicle and mobility concepts. For example, the electric charging station “ELITE” (energy-efficient, performance-optimized filling station for electrically powered vehicles) allows research to be carried out into the requirements and concepts behind a functioning, standardized charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. Prof. Reuss and his team also look at the deployment of electromobility in buses and taxis, as well as reducing the risk to pedestrians caused by low-noise electric vehicles in the project ZuSE (reliability and safety of electric vehicles).
