AbstractEnergy and the environment are listed on top the agenda of almost allmanagers.Alotofmeasuresaretakenandindustryandallstakeholdersarejointly active to develop new solutions for road transportation. New drivetrain concepts, new and alternative energy sources, besides lightmaterialsand intelligent communication systems offer good opportunities to fulfillthe increasingdemands.Restraintsare imposedonCO2(andtherefore fuelconsumption),nitrogenoxidesandparticulates(‘fijnstof’).Mobilityisbecomingmoreexpensiveandtheautomotiveindustrydealswithitbyamoreintensivecollaborationbetweensuppliersandproducers.Thecurrentautomotivecrisisdemands forquickandnewsolutions. Inparticular, short termhigh impactinnovations are needed, mainly related to ‘green‘ (e.g. electrical) vehicles,especiallywithfocusonthefastlyexpandingsmallcarmarket.Theelectriccarwillbedevelopedfromacombinationoftheestablishedautomotiveindustrytogether with new partners like energy suppliers and distributors, batterymanufacturers, knowledge workers and developers of drive train systems,modulesandcomponents.Itisenvisagedthatthefirstlargescaleapplicationswillbeatcompaniesthatownalargefleetsofcars.Thisgivesthepossibilityto monitor regulated and realize fast sales despite higher initial price perkilometer,duetoahighercostprice.Thejustificationisamongotherthingsthehighmarketingvalue,goodexposureandtheabilitytotestmarketacceptation,economicaspectsand thecollaborationof thenewpartnersunder realisticconditions. New initiatives to stimulate this new mobility arise worldwide,however,inJapan,theUSandEuropeinparticular.Theautomotivesuppliersare not yet very enthusiastic, but active small companies and investors areevermore appearing. The established automotive industry is hesitant dueto theenormouscostor (de)investments thatelectric carsbringalong.Themain cause is the expensive battery technology which still has functionaldisadvantages,e.g.lowenergydensityandthusalowrange.Alsochallengesin crash safety, comfort and EMC have to be dealtwith. The new partnersand technical concepts for vehicle architectures,modules and componentsdemandforcompletenewbusinessapproaches.

Electromechanics and Power Electronics (EPE)The mission of the EPE group in the fascinating field of electrical powerengineering is research, education and transfer of knowledge on advancedmethods and tools to enhance the analysis, design and multi-objectiveoptimizationofinnovativeelectromechanicalstructuresandcyclicallyswitchednetworks.

Most projects are structured with a particularapplication in mind and therefore very suitable for industrial cooperation.Nevertheless, theyare intended toenhance the fundamental insight.Theseprojects serve to verify experimentally the newly developed models andtools, occasionally resulting in new problems that again require originalresearch. Although two sub-programmes are involved, the development ofnovel methodologies, such as multidisciplinary optimization techniques, isshared.
