Vehicle Lab

The Vehicle Lab is in fact a complete building, L-huset (the L-building). Within the building there are three laboratories; the vehicle propulsion laboratory, the vehicle informatics laboratory, and the energy storage and transformation laboratory.

Below you see a sketch of the interior of the building. There is the three laboratories alongside an office and a conference room, with the laboratory for vehicle propulsion on the left, the Laboratory for vehicle informatics in the middle, and the laboratory for energy conversion and energy storage on the right.

A sketch of the interior of the buildingCurrent research projects regard drive cycles, vehicle behavior, hardware in the loop co-simulation, batteries and smart grid technology. Read more about the different laboratories below.
