Abstract :
In this paper innovative technologies from the aerospace research are presented, which are usable for a successful electric mobility of the future. They represent a selection of the German aerospace center research projects, where synergies between space and aviation applications as well as between rail and road traffic applications are used. The work relates to the fields of vehicle-energy concepts, alternative energy converters and lightweight design. Within the individual development projects hardware demonstrators were created and are shown here.
