Automotive and Vehicle Development

© Fraunhofer IAO

At the moment, the automotive industry is undergoing profound changes. New engine concepts in combination with increased requirements for sustainable use lead to completely new vehicle concepts. But which vehicle type is suitable under which conditions? And how can the requirements for vehicle development under specific operating conditions be derived? For our services in the "Automotive und Vehicle Development" segment, we primarily analyze the utilization and performance of commercial vehicles. For example, our data-based analyses can reveal potentials for combining the transportation of cargo and passengers. Our range of services encompasses:

  • Analyses of process data for vehicle use in urban and rural spaces
  • Vehicle type analyses based on historical as well as real-time data
  • Data-based requirement analysis for vehicle use in cargo transportation 
  • Determining potentials for electrification in commercial traffic
  • Connecting company-specific data with spatial data in order to develop new business models
