ATLAS OF E-MOBILITY COMPETENCE IN SAXONY
Words of Welcome
Words of Welcome
E-mobility is one of the most important fields
of the future when it comes to “transportation.” The biggest challenge is to intelligently
integrate and link the existing infrastructures
and technologies, to develop innovative ideas
and concepts, and to transfer them into practical applications.
Virtually the entire e-mobility value creation
chain is present in Saxony from the technology
companies of the electrochemical, power electronics, and software development industries
to premium manufacturers of the automobile
sector and an innovative supply network, all
the way to globally active energy suppliers.
The commitment of Saxon enterprises, research
institutions, and public administrations for emobility continues to be unbroken. And more
and more people are interested in e-mobility
– whether it be in companies, in research, or
private consumers. That’s why the Atlas of EMobility Competence in Saxony is even more
comprehensive in its third edition than ever
before.
E-mobility presents itself as a pioneering
technology of the future with considerable
ecological advantages when compared to mobility with combustion engines. Currently, the
transportation sector is almost completely dependent on primarily imported fossil fuels. In
the foreseeable future, though, these resources will dwindle and limited mobility as well as
price increases appear to be unavoidable.
E-mobility with electric power harnessed
from renewable energy is a key element when
it comes to meeting the special requirements
of climate and resource friendly mobility.
With its superb integration of the economy,
research, government, education, and the
public at large, Saxony can make a valuable
contribution to firmly establishing e-mobility
already today.
Daring something new and transferring innovations into new products and services, that’s
what Saxons are famous for. The manufacturing industry, and here above all the traditionally vibrant Saxon automobile industry, is the
primary generator for positive economic development. A dynamic research environment, an
efficient economy and transportation infrastructure as well as excellent general and continued education and training opportunities
are all superb prerequisites in the Free State for
bright minds and creative ideas – also for the
key issue of tomorrow, e-mobility.
The Atlas of E-Mobility Competence in Saxony
provides an overview of the network that already
exists between companies and competences in
e-mobility. Be inspired, and maybe you, too, will
soon play an active role in the network.

Saxon State Minister of Economic Affairs,
Labour and Transport
The Sächsische Energieagentur – SAENA GmbH
corporation has committed itself to protecting existing resources in order to warrant
the subsistence of subsequent generations.
Considerable potential and previously unused
opportunities exist particularly in the transportation sector. As the Free State of Saxony’s
competence center for e-mobility and intelligent transportation systems, SAENA is your
first contact when it comes to pioneering
mobility.
The Atlas of E-Mobility Competence in Saxony
is the result of many years of network activities linking the most important Saxon competences in the e-mobility sector. It showcases both experienced stakeholders as well as
young enterprises who will assure Saxony’s
future in this promising field. We hope to be
able to welcome you soon in our network.

Under the roof of the DB Group, two corporations – DB RegioNetz Verkehrs GmbH and DB
RegioNetz Infrastruktur GmbH – were founded to promote SMEs in early 2002. These two
firms created regional Regio networks which,
like SMEs, have been acting as local, customer-oriented profit centers since their founding. Each Regio network was tailored to the
needs and requirements prevalent on site. The
internal structure and service portfolio as well
as the resultant operating processes were adjusted to the regional market.
A specific focus of the Model Region Electric
Mobility Saxony is on “rural mobility.” The
proposed project creates the prerequisites to
increase the attractiveness of public transportation by using energetically optimized
combustion rail cars for rail-bound passenger transportation on non-electrified routes
in the Erzgebirge Mountains. This pre-production use helps develop the respective market
in line with the objectives of the National
Platform for Electric Mobility in the medium
and the long term.
The project partners participate in the accompanying research and the respective topics of the Model Region initiative. Within the
scope of the EcoTrain project, the Erzgebirgsbahn railroad will ready hybrid technology
for mass production and the Chemnitz site
will be strengthened technologically. Next,
the entire Erzgebirgsbahn’s VT 642 fleet is
to be retrofitted and the activities are to be
expanded to include the creation of a competence center for hybrid rail cars.

Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe AG (DVB) is one of
the most important public transportation operators in the Dresden region.
The company provides the coordinated service
of 166 trams, 151 buses, five ferries and – as
a special service – a suspension railway and
a funicular railway on more than 40 lines to
Dresden and the surrounding region.
About 500,000 passengers use the diverse
modes of transportation every workday. All
trams and buses are modern low-floor vehicles.
DVB operates a total of 18 modern hybrid buses on its lines; thus, additionally contributing
towards an attractive and clean city.
Since 2001, the use of the CarGoTram has been
relieving the city center of heavy traffic while
also aptly demonstrating the efficiency of a
sustainable urban rail transportation system.
Starting in 2015, the first battery driven elec-
tric bus will be commuting through Dresden
on Line 79. Due to conductive high current
charging at the final stop, the bus will be
able to manage the approx. 300 km of its
daily route which also includes the auxiliary
equipment and the heating system. The hybrid buses are studied to determine further
improvements within the scope of the project “Pilotlinie 64 – Efficient Electric Mobility
in Dresden.” This includes lightweight construction which is exemplified by the rims

With almost 150 km of tracks, the municipal
corporation Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB)
GmbH operates the second largest tram network in Germany. In the city of Leipzig, LVB
serves an area of approx. 297 km2 with a growing population of currently 522,833 inhabitants. The entire service area includes 708,315
inhabitants and stretches over 1,159 km2. Today, 80 % of the more than 142 million LVB
passengers use the tram and its 13 lines every
year. They, thus, already use e-mobility and
benefit from energy efficient transportation.
LVB is also actively involved in projects associated with the renewal of its bus fleet, which
also includes innovative, environmentally
friendly drive units. That’s why one of Germany’s largest hybrid bus fleets with 19 hybrid
buses from 4 different manufacturers went
into operation already in 2011. The company
continues to cooperate closely with the scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems (IVI) and
with its e-mobility project partners.
In addition, LVB has been and continues to be
involved in the projects SaxHybrid and SaxHybridPLUS, SaxMobility and SaxMobility II as well
as in projects of the international Trolley-Motion consortium and in the Showcase BavariaSaxony ELECTRIC MOBILITY CONNECTS. This
commitment is linked to the continued development of mobility services, available information, and partnerships which all safeguard
and ensure environmentally friendly mobility.

Porsche in Leipzig – since time immemorial,
this has been a story of growth and progress.
What started on a greenfield with the production of an entirely new model series – the
Porsche Cayenne – has matured into an exemplary success story over the past 15 years.
Today, more than 3,000 Porsche employees
assemble three model series with about 650
units at the Saxon production site per day –
including the plug-in hybrid versions of the
Cayenne and the Panamera. They unite
Porsche’s unique road performance with the
efficiency of small cars – demonstrating that
e-mobility and driving dynamics are not a
contradiction. The combination of powerful
electric drives, modern battery technology,
and highly efficient combustion engines permits the creation of a trendsetting concept for
state-of-the-art high performance vehicles as
is aptly demonstrated by the plug-in hybrid
super sports car 918 Spyder which is produced
in Zuffenhausen.
At Porsche, e-mobility has a long tradition: After more than 110 years, Porsche’s ultramodern hybrid strategy harks back to the company
founder’s very own pioneering performance.
Back in 1900, Ferdinand Porsche had actually
invented the hybrid principle and was the first
person to put it into practice.

The Central German car sharing provider
teilAuto is currently testing the joint use of
electric vehicles. The concept of car sharing
is becoming increasingly popular specifically
in large cities; so far, this has been true primarily for conventional vehicles with combustion engines. With the objective of turning e-mobility into a driving experience for
everybody, teilAuto and the municipal utility
company DREWAG Stadtwerke Dresden GmbH
have decided to make a new electric charging station with room for two cars available
to car sharing users at the train station Dresden-Neustadt. Since October 2012, teilAuto
customers have been able to rent two Citroën
C-Zero electric cars with a range of about 100
kilometers – they are considered to be the first
e-vehicles used for car sharing operations in
all of Saxony.
Getting access to the vehicles is really simple: After having registered as a teilAuto user
and after having received a personal teilAuto
card, it is possible to make reservations via
the website, a smartphone app, or over the
phone. Conventional and electric vehicles are
listed together in the booking system. Upon
arrival at the station, the reserved vehicle just
needs to be disconnected from the charging
station and opened with the help of the membership card. That’s it – you’re ready to start
your electromobile experience. teilAuto and
DREWAG are cooperating within the scope of
the “SaxMobility II” project that was launched
by the Model Region Electric Mobility Saxony.

iBullitt (no registration needed) for B2B.
Glashütte stands for innovation and inventiveness – that’s why we’re producing vehicles for tomorrow’s cities here.
Efficient, dynamic, and inexpensive, the iBullitt transports up to 100 kg – without any
access restrictions, particulate problems, or
parking restrictions – that’s why the iBullitt
is faster and cheaper than a car.
In the project “I replace a car” (www.ich-ersetze-ein-auto.de), 40 iBullitts have traveled
more than 500,000 kilometers in 8 cities
while delivering over 125,000 shipments.
Furnishing ample proof of their potential:
85 % of the urban deliveries made by cars
can be replaced by iBullitts at cost savings of
more than 15 % (Sources: DLR/DPD).
These values become possible thanks to high
performance batteries with a range of up to
200 km. The project was funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature
Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU)
within the scope of the National Climate
Initiative. It was supervised by the German
Aerospace Center (DLR).

Together with our local partners – municipal
utility companies, mobility service providers,
universities, and companies – we are working
hard to live up to the motto “Electric Mobility
Connects” both within and beyond the scope
of the showcase projects of the German Federal Government. As a result of this successful cooperation, many charging stations have
already been installed. The charging infrastructure for the “StromTicket” project, which
provides operators with a comfortable and
economically viable access and billing system,
was developed by Walther.
The central idea behind our e-mobility commitment is sustainability and interoperability:
Charging stations made by Walther provide all
the technical prerequisites for barrier-free use
and are designed so they can be adjusted to
changing requirements. This is our contribution towards establishing a comprehensive
network of charging stations in both urban
and rural areas. Become one of our partners.

As a private, industry-oriented research organization, the Chemnitz-based Institute for
Mechanical and Industrial Engineering e.V.
(ICM e.V.) plays a leading role when it comes
to the development of successful innovations
in mechanical and plant engineering. In cooperation with the ICM e.V., small and medium
sized enterprises are able to jointly tackle critical issues and develop the requisite solutions.
The ICM e.V. makes a vital contribution both
as a research and development partner and as
a project coordinator.
At the ICM e.V., the topic e-mobility has been
actively addressed as one of three important
fields of the future since 2009. Over the past
three years, the electric vehicle INNVELO®
Three was created at the institute in cooperation with a number of regional, small and medium sized partners. This research was made
possible through funding provided by the
Federal Ministry of Education and Research
(BMBF). Based on demand analyses, three different vehicle concepts were created: Commercial, Work, and Race which are tailored
to the needs and requirements of potential
user groups. Building on the experiences that
have been gained with the Commercial model,
the Chemnitz Institute is now developing the
Work model which will primarily meet the demands of municipal service providers. Here,
the ICM e.V. cooperates closely with the City
of Chemnitz with the objective of increasing
the use of e-mobility also in the municipal
sector. This is complemented by the network
“InnveloEnergie” which is located at the ICM
e.V. as well and pursues the objective of harnessing the energy which is lost by companies
in e-mobility applications.

So far, vehicle-specific product training has
been the responsibility of the manufacturers’ contract partners and does not include all
service providers active in the motor vehicle
branch. That’s why it’s necessary to create an
infrastructure that provides the information
all e-mobility partners need.

need to be developed for independent repair
shops. It’s necessary to identify the branch’s
unknown hazards as well as the completely

Last but not least, roadside assistants, towing
companies, and emergency medical services
should also be integrated into an evolving information network. Here, a number of guide-
lines exist already which need to be followed
by the motor vehicle trade.
To meet these requirements and continuously
adapt the level of information to the development progress, the Education and Technology Center of the Leipzig Chamber of Crafts
(HWK) is engaged in diverse projects. Together
with the car systems Scheil GmbH & Co. KG
corporation, a modular training concept is being developed that meets the demands of the
various groups of participants. The individual
modules can be applied in steps. It’s also possible to integrate pre-training sessions as well
as entrance and exit tests into these modules.
This creates transparent, sustainable competences for companies which have their employees trained and educated here.

In 2009, the Elektrobildungs- und Technologiezentrum e.V. Dresden (EBZ), an education
and training center for electrical technology,
added e-mobility to its development strategy
which is part of the project “Development as
a Competence Center for Energy Management
– An Intelligent Decentralized Energy Management System – Energy Efficiency.” Between
2010 and 2014, this project, which was subsidized by the Federal Government, the Free
State of Saxony, and the EBZ, played a pioneering role in the development and implementation of applied qualification concepts revolving
around education and training in the electrical
and energy technology sector.
The expertise gained from this project made a
vital contribution so that the EBZ was able to
continue this development within the scope
of the Showcase Bavaria-Saxony ELECTRIC
MOBILITY CONNECTS. Since 2013, an interdis-
ciplinary advanced training program for the
requisite crafts has been evolving within the
network project “Smart Advisor” in cooperation with guilds and chambers of crafts from
Bavaria and Saxony which qualifies trained
specialists in the crafts sector so that they can
become e-mobility advisors.
Within the scope of the “Virtual, Integrated
Competence Center E-Mobility” project, a
training program is being created which addresses diverse topics ranging from the energy
turnaround to renewable energy all the way to
e-mobility. The initiative aims to establish an
innovative e-mobility system platform for continued education as well as research and development in small and medium sized enterprises
(abbreviated SELFE), striving to link general and
continued education and training in a practice
oriented manner by creating industrial “teaching and learning facilities.”

Under the name “SupraTrans II,” researchers
of the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and
Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden)
und the Dresden-based evico GmbH corporation have created a levitated transport
system for persons or goods. The functional
principle is based on the scientific principle
that massive high temperature superconductors are able to hover stably above a magnetic track by themselves and that this track
can be curved in any direction or arranged
in any direction. This principle is suitable for
both upright levitation along a track and for
horizontal or vertical levitation on a wall, for
hanging levitation below a ceiling structure,
and for any combination of these variations.
The transport system is environmentally
friendly, completely silent, without any
harmful emissions, low in energy consump-
tion, and resistant to water and ice as well
as dust and sand on the track. The vehicle
is driven by an electric linear motor which
generates the necessary thrust without any
contact. The energy required for acceleration
is fed from the track to the vehicle without
any direct contact.

tences of all faculties. It is, thus, active in all
fields of e-mobility research and is, at the same
time, able to apply the available expertise to its
instruction. That is why the requisite bachelor’s
and master’s programs of studies for e-mobility and renewable energy engineering have
been launched over the past few years.
The “Chemnitz Initiative Technologies of Electromobility” has established itself as an interdisciplinary platform for e-mobility. The initiative’s objective is to jointly address the topic
“Technologies of Electromobility” on a broad
and interdisciplinary foundation. In so doing,
it is possible to apply the substantial competences of the partners from the Faculties of
Electrical Engineering/Information Technology,
Mechanical Engineering, Economics and Business Administration as well as Behavioral and
Social Sciences. The research activities specifically focus on, for example, adaptive driver and
storage systems as holistic systems, their reliability, functional integration, ultra-lightweight
construction in component development, and
the assessment of user behaviors. The initiative
considers itself to be the basis for the exchange
and transfer of knowledge between research
and industry. Together with regional research
and business partners from the traditionally
strong automobile and machine construction
branches, a sustainable exchange takes place
on innovative technologies and components.
The following professorships participate in
the Chemnitz Initiative Technologies of Electromobility:
In the e-mobility sector, partners conduct
research in industrially and publicly funded
projects such as, for example, diverse junior research groups, the research projects FahrE and
EcoTrain, or the Showcase Regions for Electric

and of Road Planning and Road Design, the
Center for Car Business Management, the
Vodafone Chair Mobile Communications Systems as well as the Institutes of Automobile
Engineering, of Traffic Telematics, of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology,
and the Electrotechnical Institute participate
in the Showcase Bavaria-Saxony ELECTRIC
MOBILITY CONNECTS program with the projects Academic Education Initiative, EBALD,
e-city-routing, Electric Bus Route 79, EmiD,
ENMOVER, e-Verkehrsraum, Open Air Lab,
and Pilot Line 64 as well as, within the Model
Region Electric Mobility Saxony initiative, in
the EcoTrain project.
The research conducted at the Dresden Institute of Automobile Engineering (IAD)’s Chair
of Vehicle Mechatronics makes a vital contribution towards six of the aforementioned
research projects and includes, for example,
the examination and continued development
of energy and information systems in the
power-driven vehicles of today and tomorrow as well as the investigation of specific
individual components.
A specific focus is on researching new procedures for the modeling and simulation
of key components in electrified drives and
powertrains. Important examples are stationary and mobile energy storage systems
at the cell and battery system level. Current
research topics include the SOC/SOH determination as well as issues related to the
analysis of aging. That’s why the chair has
climate-controlled test facilities for studying electric auxiliary units, energy storage
systems, and control devices. These facilities
can simulate not only peak loads, but also
driving cycles and continuous operation on
real vehicle power circuit systems.
The integration of vehicles and the infrastructure are also examined and developed
further.
The various funded projects pursue the joint
objective of promoting e-mobility through
measures to improve the vehicle efficiency
and to increase user acceptance.
The Chair of Electric Machines and Drives at
TU Dresden’s Institute of Electrical Power Engineering provides instruction in the degree
courses power engineering and mechatronics which contain the compulsory subjects
electric drives and electric machines. When
it comes to research, the chair has been active in the electric machines and drives sector for more than 50 years now. Currently,
the research sectors include, for example:
Wind turbines, electric motors/generators,
and magnetic bearing systems. A specific focus is on processes and procedures for the
modeling, design, control, and optimization
of individual machine and power converter
components as well as on solutions to individual problems revolving around the design
and construction of machines.

Elbflorace e. V. was founded in 2006 with 16
members and the dream of setting up a Formula Student Team at the TU Dresden. Since
then, the team has grown to a group of about
65 students from the most diverse academic
disciplines. Our common goal has remained
the same: Producing a formula racing car
and combining our passion for technology and motor sports with our studies. With
every new racing car, we want to grow as a
team and, thus, combine the contents of our
studies with real practical experiences.
of our greatest success stories was the ninth
place in the global ranking we reached in the
2013 season. We’re also proud of having won
such prizes as the “Most Energy Efficient Car”
award at the Formula Student Germany 2012
or the “Best Teamwork” award at the Formula
Student Spain 2010 and 2011.
To build on these achievements, we seek to
construct an even better vehicle every year
while also further improving our teamwork
so that we’re able to get the best possible
score at these events.
After three vehicles with combustion engines, we started to compete with a new
drive and propulsion concept in the Formula
Student Electric in 2010. Many ideas and
solutions were terra incognita for our team
members; despite extensive planning and
simulation, a proper assessment was only
possible through practical applications. One

Within the scope of the large-scale “InEco”
project, ILK scientists designed a 4-seat electric
vehicle for urban areas together with experts
from the Leichtbau-Zentrum Sachsen GmbH
(LZS) and ThyssenKrupp AG corporations.
When it comes to the InEco vehicle concept,
the Dresden Model demonstrates its specific
strong points. Towards this end, the project
partners carefully examined the entire vehicle
system. The result of this approach is a generic
project vehicle with an integral, hybrid steelCFK design which weighs only 900 kilograms,
including all components as well as the battery. And the constructive-technological implementation of a high functional integration
permits the vehicle chassis to be built from
only 63 individual components. This translates
into 70 percent fewer parts than conventional
car body construction.

Founded in 1928, the Institute of Metal Forming is one of the world’s oldest scientific institutes for forming technologies. The scientific focus is on the development of production
technologies for semi-finished metallic construction materials (sheet, strip, wire) as well
as on solid forming processes. The researchers
investigate both conventional and new, energy
efficient processes which combine casting and
forming, and they optimize these technologies
with regard to the development of characteristic properties during the production process. In
addition to such conventional materials as, for
example, steel, copper, or aluminum and titanium alloys, the production of lightweight sheet
and strip materials from magnesium alloys is a
key research focus of the institute.
With the development of an innovative casting-rolling method for the economically viable
production of magnesium strip and sheet ma-
terials, which was the first such process to be
implemented in the world at an industrial scale
together with the ThyssenKrupp MgF corporation, the institute has gained extensive expertise in the production and processing of lightweight magnesium materials which is unique
throughout Europe.
Another research area which is crucial for emobility is the production of electrical steel
sheets with optimized magnetic properties for
highly efficient electric drives. State-of-the-art
test facilities, forming simulation systems as
well as pilot rolling lines are available for research at the Institute of Metal Forming.
From the development of new materials and
technologies to the design and engineering of
industrial production processes and production tools, the institute provides a wide range
of services for industrial partners in the emobility sector.

Racetech is the Formula Student racing team
of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg. Since 2005,
the team has participated in numerous international racing events every year. A special
feature of the racing cars from Freiberg is their
outer skin which is made from magnesium
sheet metal. True to its motto “Where there’s
a team, there’s a way” and for the fourth time
in a row, the team accepted the challenge of
readying a fully electrically driven racing car
so that it could start in 2014. The prototype,
which is newly developed every year, is driven
by two permanent-magnet synchronous motors sponsored by BOSCH GS-EH. The result:
All three electric racing cars managed to reach
the top ten in the Formula Student Electric
global ranking.
The entire process of developing, building, and
operating the racing car is organized and im-
plemented by the students. The car has many
electronic parts which are in-house developments. This includes, for example, a control
unit to regulate different engine torques during cornering, a touch display integrated in
the dashboard, and a specifically developed
battery management system. True to the TU
Bergakademie Freiberg’s philosophy, the team
not only focuses on the optimal performance
and quality of its developments, but also on
an efficient use of resources, environmental
friendliness, and sustainability. The Racetech
Racing Team is supported by numerous partners and is interested in further expanding its
network to jointly develop innovative solutions for racing cars.
More information on the team, the racing
cars, and potential forms of cooperation can
be found on the team’s website.
For more than 100 years now, Zwickau has
been a renowned location for automobile
construction in Germany. When it comes to
racing, the city has gained fame and acclaim
particularly with the legendary Auto-Union
Silver Arrows in the 1930s.

Almost 75 years later, a small group of students from our university decided to continue this tradition by bringing another racing car from Zwickau to the starting line in
2006. Today, our team consists of approx. 70
students from the West Saxon University of
Applied Sciences Zwickau who are enrolled in
the most diverse disciplines. The design and
assembly of the racing car encompasses the
powertrain, vehicle dynamics, chassis, electrics, and electronics sectors. The finance,
marketing, and public relations teams are
responsible for the economic aspects of the
project. We have a fleet of 9 racing cars. Four
of them are powered by a combustion engine while five have electric motors. Already
in 2007, the first racing car from Zwickau
started at the international Formula Student
construction competition. Thanks to the hard
work of former and present team members,
the team from Zwickau was able to earn a
good name for itself in this competition.
This laid the foundation on which innovations are created and visions realized. For us,
it was not only important to see our theoretical studies become reality, but to also
gain experience, to grow, and to transform
individuals into a team!

Climate change and the limited reserves of
fossil fuels demand a more efficient use of
energy also when it comes to satisfying mobility needs. More e-mobility and using more
electricity generated from renewable energy
can make a vital contribution towards this end.
With its climate protection strategy under
the motto “Energy for the Climate. Dresden
Switches,” the City of Dresden is committed
towards ambitious goals. For example, specific
greenhouse gas emissions are to be reduced by
at least ten percent every five years. In 2030,
this will equal a volume of about six tons per
inhabitant.
In order to contribute to the reduction of
traffic-related greenhouse gas emissions,
noise, and air pollutants, the City Administration wants to assume a role model by utilizing
more e-mobility. Since 2009, it has participated in the “Model Region Electric Mobility” ini-
tiative and has gained extensive experiences in
designing charging stations and parking areas
in the public sector.
Since January 2014, the City of Dresden has
been participating in the “Electric Mobility
in Dresden” project within the scope of the
Showcase Region ELECTRIC MOBILITY CONNECTS. Under the auspices of the Fraunhofer
Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems IVI, the City Administration
cooperates closely with the TU Dresden and
the Saxony Economic Development Corporation (WFS). The project pursues the objective of identifying potential obstacles when it
comes to the use of e-vehicles and eliminating these obstacles with the help of suitable
measures as well as optimizing the utilization
of these vehicles and the requisite charging
infrastructure by also considering ranges and
charging times.
