The Bosch Budapest Innovation Campus plays a decisive role in the development of electromobility and automated driving solutions. During the visit, a presentation was given on the testing phases of electric drives, after which we were able to gain an insight into the work of a laboratory presenting physical tests.
In addition to this, Prof. Dr. Reinhard Haas, provided compressive presentation on the role of renewable energy in the European and Austrian electricity system, since the use of renewable electricity is essential for the achievement of the full environmental benefits of electric vehicles.
