On behalf of Prof. Hausberger (TU Graz), Mr. Schneeweiss presented the work program of the Institute for Internal Combustion Engines and Thermodynamics (IVT) at the TU Graz. After an introduction about the institute, he gave an overview of the project approach. Tasks 5.1 (analysis of typical profiles for vehicle speed and propulsion power) and 5.3 (elaboration of options to use the HILS method in HDV CO2 procedures) will ensure the link to the EU HDV-CO2 project.
