Overview
Depending on the application environment, legal regulations and required performance class, electric (cable-connected) solutions, battery-electric or fuel cell-electric technologies or combustion engines (hydrogen combustion, eFuels) are used in the field of mobile machinery. In addition to the technological issues, this HZwo working group will be actively involved in co-operation between Australian and European companies and research institutions.
The ‘Mobile Machinery’ working group of the HZwo e.V. is dedicated to these and other topics.
