Battery Electric Vehicles and Hybrid Vehicles

Overview

Give your career a boost by mastering how electric, hybrid and conventional combustion engine powertrains are built and how they work. Learn about methods for calculating the performance and energy consumption of powertrains and how to simulate them in different driving cycles. 

You will also learn about the basic functions of the powertrain components like IC engines, electric machines, transmissions, power electronics and batteries.The target audience for this Professional Certificate programs are engineers in the automotive industry who need to develop their knowledge about electric and hybrid powertrains. 

This course is also aimed at students with a bachelor's degree who want to pursue master level studies in automotive engineering.

This Battery Electric Vehicles and Hybrid Vehicles program in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology - ChalmersX is derived from both undergraduate and master courses. It starts on a basic level and then gradually introduces more advanced concepts. The program offers a unique opportunity to learn the basics of powertrain design and how to verify the design in advanced simulations.

By the end of this program, you will be able to contribute to the design of energy efficient and competitive electric and hybrid powertrains.

Job Outlook

• This demand is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, with many countries setting ambitious targets for the adoption of electric vehicles and the development of supporting infrastructure.
