Abstract :
In times of increasing fuel price and environmental consciousness coming to the fore, automotive industry is forced to review its existing concepts of building cars based on combustion engines. In addition to other technologies like hydrogen or fuel cell technologies, electric cars with highly efficient battery power supply play a fundamental role. Especially electric cars with wheel hub drive offer great flexibility of car design and approve completely new mobility concepts.
