Preface
The current economic crisis is cutting the automotive sector to the quick.
Public authorities worldwide are now faced with requests for providing loans
and accepting guarantees and even for putting large automotive companies
under state control. Assessing the long-term benefits of such help and weigh-
ing the needs of different sectors against each other poses a major challenge
for the national policies. Given the upcoming change of customer preferences
and state regulations towards safety, sustainability and comfort of a car, the
automotive industry is particularly called to prove its ability to make neces-
sary innovations available in order to accelerate its pace to come out of the
crisis. Consequently the Green Car is assuming a prominent role in the current
debate.
Various power train concepts are currently under discussion for the Green Car
including extremely optimised internal combustion engines, hybrid drives and
battery-electric traction. Electrical cars are the most appealing option because
they are free of local emissions and provide the opportunity to use primary
energy from sources other than crude oil for transport. Well to wheel analysis
show that their green-house gas emissions can be rated negligibly small if
electricity from renewable sources like wind and solar is used. The mass intro-
duction of electrical cars, however, is still a few years down the road, given
the necessity to completely rethink the vehicle's concept: Novel solutions are
needed for energy storage, traction, range extension, energy efficiency, power
control and the overall system integration. All these are topics of advanced
industrial research. Fatally, it is just the industrial research departments doing
such work that in times of crisis have to fear to sustain budget cuts.
The promotion of Green Cars, in particular the electrical vehicle, has to rely
on joint commitments by the industry and the public authorities. In terms of
the electrical vehicle, first steps towards such public private partnership were
recently taken by EPoSS, the European Technology Platform on Smart Systems
Integration. Starting with an expert workshop on smart systems for the elec-
trical vehicle carried out together with the European Commission in June
2008, EPoSS systematically built-up a basis and provided essential support to
the Green Cars Initiative as part of the European Economic Recovery Plan.
The 13 th International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive
Applications (AMAA) taking place in Berlin on May 5-6, 2009 is presenting
even more of the advanced research work for the way out of the crisis. With
EPoSS being one of the organisers of the conference this year the focus is put
