The vehicle technology and development field of study focuses on teaching the fundamental skills of vehicle development. In addition to the drive system (electric, hybrid or with combustion engine), the systems chassis, safety systems, body, etc. are comprehensively treated.
Key areas
In addition to the powertrain, the focus is on the vehicle's independent components and the associated development processes.

Career & Perspectives
Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers rely on capable engineers when it comes to developing and manufacturing vehicles and their components. The transformation in the powertrain with increasing hybridization and electrification of the powertrain requires creative minds. The industry in southern Germany is characterized by innovative automotive manufacturers and the suppliers of new systems for tomorrow's mobility. Manufacturers of commercial vehicles, special vehicles or agricultural machinery can also count on the skills of automotive engineers.
