Brief description

Mobility is constantly changing and this leads to an increasing number and variety of mobility concepts. The 'classic' automobile is only one representative here. Inner-city transportation with small and micro vehicles is also an aspect that is addressed in the module. On the other hand, there are also many parallels between cars and agricultural vehicles and construction machinery, for example in terms of package and structural design. These aspects will also be taken into account.

Teaching and learning outcomes

1. Overview of mobility concepts

2. Vehicle concepts in addition to the classic car

3. Micromobility with small and micro vehicles

4. Agricultural vehicles

5. Construction machinery

6. Special vehicle construction

Overall workload

The total workload for the module is 135 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").
