News from our projects

The FVV organises facts- / field-based collective research on sustainable powertrain and energy systems of the future for an international network of science and automotive, mobility and energy industries. As a service provider for innovative businesses, especially SMEs, we organise solutions-oriented research projects and communicate their key results and innovation potential.

In the innovation + transfer network of the FVV, globally operating manufacturers of energy carriers, energy systems, sustainable powertrains and prime movers such as vehicle / aircraft / industrial engines, fuel cells and turbo machines, together with their suppliers and development service providers, conduct in close cooperation with universities and other research institutions pre-competitive, industrial collective research on future technologies. The aim is to operate energy converters – engines, hybrid powertrains, turbines, compressors, turbochargers and fuel cells – with renewable energy sources in new, (partly) electrified, integrated and digitalised conversion systems in a more efficient, cleaner and sustainable way – to the benefit of society, climate, environment and industry.

Sustainable energy conversion systems facilitate individual mobility, transportation, energy supply and industrial added value. The innovative power of the industry and its economic success make a significant contribution to social prosperity. As a non-profit organisation, the FVV supports the evolution of its members - small, medium and large companies – and the promotion of young scientists. The research association has implemented more than 2,000 research projects since it was founded in 1956.
