Über den Arbeitgeber
The Institute for Vehicle Concepts at DLR is internationally renowned for designing future-oriented road and rail vehicles that support sustainable, climate-friendly, and user-centered mobility—while also being economically viable. We conduct cutting-edge research, develop innovative technologies, and demonstrate their real-world potential. As part of our work, we collaborate closely with leading research institutions, industry partners, and policymakers.
For a small, lightweight, autonomous, battery-electric rail vehicle tailored to improve public transport in rural areas, we are designing a type of innovative, lightweight and highly compact single axle, independently rotating wheel running gear. To reduce wear and improve comfort, a novel hydropneumatic suspension system is being developed, that now needs to be integrated into the running gear frame.
