Currently, the lasting and long-termed provision of sustainable mobility is the maybe most challenging issue for the car-industry worldwide. E-cars seem to be the most promising option, as it can make use of renewable energies and can lead to a decreased dependence of fossil fuels as well as a reduction of emissions. Due to its technological competence, the German car industry has a real chance to position itself at the leading edge of the future e-mobility market. For that, the car-industry has to develop energyefficient and attractive e-cars and has to introduce it at the automotive market successfully. However, some significant technological challenges have to be mastered for a broad establishment of e-cars. In particular, it is not sufficient to just substitute the fuel tank and the combustion engine of a today's car by a battery and an electro engine. Instead, completely new concepts have to be developed taking into account the overall car and its components. In October 2009 the R&D-project e performance has been started by a consortium of industrial and research partners, namely the AUDI AG, the Audi Electronics Venture GmbH, the Robert Bosch GmbH, the Bosch Engineering GmbH and several institutes of the Technical University Aachen (RWTH). This core team has been supported by a number of small and medium industry partners and further research institutions. Hence, the project has combined the competence of strong industry partners with the excellence of universities and research institutes and has established lasting co-operations between the partners. During the project, the partners developed a modular system framework for e-cars enabling the realization of different automobile architectures by the same components. The project work has covered the technological areas drive-train, electrical energy storage and batteries, thermo-management and air-condrtioning, in-car networks as well as user analysis and HMI, where the extension of the range of e-cars has been considered as one of the main objective of the project. Finally, all developments and approaches has been streamlined to an implementation within a car demonstrator, to gain experiences and requirements for serial cars and its components. Apart from a short project overview, this report in particular provides the contributions of the AUDI AG to the overall joint research project. For a detailed description of the project results, please refer to the common report of the overall project that has been published both by the TIB and as a book.
