Hybrid Car: Optimised Performance Thanks to Magnet Simulation

Research Project by St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences Makes Environmentally Friendly Cars Competitive.


By optimising magnets, hybrid and electric cars can be made economically competitive. This is the finding of a research project currently underway at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences (Austria). The project is examining the ideal composition and structure for high-performance permanent magnets intended for use in cars. These criteria can help conserve raw materials and can be identified quickly and without major expense thanks to the use of simulation methods and the expertise of renowned material researcher Prof. Thomas Schrefl, who has recently joined the team at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences.
