Abstract :
Constantly rising fuel prices more and more encourage the development of innovative electric vehicle concepts. In order to follow this trend and to increase customer acceptance and the practicality of electro-mobility, vehicle concepts with inductive power transfer systems are developed. These have to be integrated into the production lines of the car manufacturers with in each case several adaptations depending on the different types of electric vehicles. Therefore, different vehicle integration concepts and cost-efficient value chains need to be created in order to allow an early start of production to sell such vehicles.
