Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
FT01 Engineering Mathematics I
FT04
FT05 Engineering Mathematics II

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with the physical principles of the longitudinal dynamics of road vehicles, of driving resistances and their influence and the design of powertrains, manual, automated and automatic transmissions as well as different axle drives. They will understand the physical principles and interrelationships of tractive forces and their influence and impact on driving performance. They will be able to calculate and simulate driving performance according to instructions and create simulation models (Excel). They will be able to calculate and simulate the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of vehicles powered by ICE (diesel and gasoline), as well as for electric drives at different operating points. Students will be able to describe how CO2 emissions from ICE (diesel and gasoline) powered vehicles are generated and will be able to calculate and evaluate them. They will be able to describe and design braking systems. They will have mastered dynamic wheel/axle loads, as well as longitudinal tire forces.
