The demands on the automobile of the future refer to the minimization of energy consumption and to the suitability for recycling, To achieve this, concepts of modular construction and light weight materials can be used, In the future even electric vehicles can contribute to globally lower emissions, In order to increase active safety, electronic control systems are being developed or introduced into the market. In order to enhance the comfort, we can observe a lack of economically realizable solutions today, Above all the engineer of the future has to realize economical problems in the beginning and solve them on the side of technical questions.
