The Institute of Vehicle Concepts was involved with a plenary session on the ZEDU, the world's most environmentally friendly car, and a further seven contributions on vehicle-specific sustainability topics. DLR received the Best Technical Contributor Award for this.
In Dubai, innovations in the field of sustainable technologies and renewable energies as well as electromobility are strategic goals in view of the finite nature of oil reserves. It was therefore appropriate to present the results of the development of the world's most environmentally friendly car, the ZEDU-1 or Zero Emission Drive Unit, at this conference. The electric vehicle does not emit any particulate matter from brakes and tyres into the environment, but it also absorbs dust from the environment.
The work was honoured by the programme committee, with the team consisting of project manager Franz Philipps, project engineer Sven Reiland and department head Dr Michael Schier receiving the Best Technical Paper Award and the Plenary Session Speaker Award for the presentation of the work.
Lars Weyh and Patrick Schwarz received the Award of the best paper on sustainable mobility actuators modeling for their contribution "NVH analysis of a 200 kW drive for a double-decker high-speed train in lightweight construction using a 3D scanning Laser Doppler vibrometer".
