Preface of the Operating Agent
System Optimization—The Key to Success Current trends in energy supply and use are unsustainable, in terms of environment, economy, and society. We have to change the path that we are now on—we have to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and we have to improve energy efficiency. Therefore, low-carbon energy technologies/environmentally friendly mobility will play a crucial role and is one of today’s major challenges for the global automotive industry on par with the growing trend towards urbanization, the increasing scarcity of natural resources, the steady rise in the world’s population, and global climate change. Especially the transport sector—one of today’s fastest growing sectors—is a contributor to many environmental problems due to its dependency on fossil fuels. In the search for a sustainable solution to these challenges, electrical energy is the key to success, particularly when it comes to mobility. Vehicles driven by an electrified powertrain, including pure battery electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cel
