  1. New technologies Cars

  2. Car industry • Car manufacturers and their suppliers form a big part in Germany’s economy • In Oberberg we also have many suppliers, e.g. one of the leading axle and trailer producers (BPW) • The cars have to get better and better

  3. Saving fuel • A big topic is saving fuel • For this, new technologies like an automatic start stop system are developed • There are also other ideas like a tyre giving a signal when the pressure is low • This also helps to save fuel

  4. Automatic cars • There are tests about a car which is driven by a computer only. There is no driver needed • Also, the cars communicate and warn each other e.g. if there is ice • The systems can notice if you are tired and it will stop your car

  5. Our biggest car group

  6. Our biggest car group • The state of Niedersachsen has a car-orientated economy, because with Volkswagen Europe’s biggest Car Group is located there • An unique supplier industry has developed there • More than 700 companies manufacture everything which includes mobility, e.g. airbags, car seats, steering systems

  7. Our biggest car group • The workers in Niedersachsen work on efficient motors, sustainable mobility, electronic cars and clever assistant systems • This should lead to more fuel-efficient cars

  8. Special systems • The company Bosch manufactures start-stop-systems • When the driver stops at a red traffic light the motor goes out • When the driver uses the clutch when the light is green the car starts again

  9. Cars can communicate • Another company, Continental, works on wheels which report when the pressure sinks • Structure-borne sound sensors which are designed to save you in an accident

  10. Cars can communicate • An intelligent car is invented which drives without a driver, because of assistant systems and many sensors • Cars shall warn each other of black ice or traffic jams

  11. Automatic parking systems • Another idea is to automate the parking operation • Most of drivers need more time to find a parking space than reaching the destination! • If that can be realized the driver would not have to care about the searching aparking lot and the car will park itself

  12. Automatic parking systems • The driver can activate the parking operation with a smartphone app • When the driver wants to get back to his car, he calls his car and the car drives on its own to the place where the driver stands

  13. Bicycle Industry • The bicycle is the most used transportation in Germany • Especially electric bicycles are very popular in the moment • There is a new propulsion which combines the central engine with the backpedal brake

  14. The right batteries • A big topic for the electronic mobility are the right batteries • Johnson Control produces the interior of the cell chemistry up to the finished module • The new cells are prismatic so that the batteries need less space

  15. Car engine • The engine is the most important element of a car • Continental builds the first high-efficient synchronic machine without the use of rare earth • The new engines go out if the car is standing and starts again if you step on the clutch • If you brake, the energy can be transformed into electricity and stored in the battery

  16. The first electric cars • The first electric car which is produced in series reaches a speed of 75 km/h and is ideal for roads in the city or on premises • The company tests how electric vehicles can be used as power storage

  17. The first electric cars • Volkswagen also manufactures electric cars • Since 2011 they test electric cars in Germany • The first electric car is already for sale

  18. Using wind energy for electronic cars • The land between Harz and North Sea has much wind • 25% of the wind energy in Germany are produced there • New wind turbines are planned to produce the energy for more than 100.000 electronic cars that are expected to be on the road in 2016

  19. New airplanes • In Stade and in other parts of Niedersachsen there are specialists of lightweight who work on reinforced carbon fiber plastic • The aim is to make the airplanes lighter and to reduce the fuel consumption and the CO2 emissions

  20. New airplanes • The airplanes A380 and A350 consist of lightweight material thanks to the specialists • The black material weighs 30% less than steel and aluminum and is also harder and more stable
