The Institute for Automotive Engineering is divided into ten departments, which emphasise and concentrate on the educational domain as well as on public and industrial research projects. The departments Chassis, Body, Drivetrain, Electrics/Electronics and Driver Assistance represent the classic automotive domains and cooperate closely with the cross-divisional departments of Strategy and Consulting, Vehicle Concepts, Acoustics, Thermal Management as well as Driver Experience and Performance in an interdisciplinary manner. This wide range of expertise enables analysing and optimising the vehicle as a whole, while paying attention to the complex interactions between the individual subsystems. The departments are linked by focusing on the various features of the vehicle; safety, energy efficiency and driving experience.
