Stopień Magistra w Systemach Napędowych dla Zrównoważonej Mobilności

Climate change and global warming are some of the main environmental problems that our society must face in the coming decades. These critical aspects have given impetus to the reduction of CO2 emissions and indirectly to all initiatives associated with efficient fuel consumption in all government policies related to the transport sector, which represents almost 20% of CO2 emissions in the world. planet.

In this direction, most of the EU countries will reduce their CO2 emissions per km by at least 25% until 2025. To reach this ambitious goal, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of fossil fuel through the development of new technologies in the automotive industry. Vehicle electrification is one of the main ways to participate in such reduction, and such technology will gain importance in the future, especially through hybridization. This means that around 90% of vehicles in 2030 will still be equipped with an internal combustion engine, albeit in the context of hybrid powertrains, still using heat engine architecture. Other solutions, mainly based on hydrogen (such as fuel cells) and the use of e-fuels, are also being studied by the industry.

The University Research Institute CMT - Thermal Engines proposed by the Master is a benchmark in the field of propulsion plants in means of transport, both for its most basic studies, aimed at a better understanding of the relevant phenomena and cause-effect relationships. in the actions of the system, as in the most applied aspect of knowledge transfer and joint projects with the industry. The know-how and experience that the research group has on the subject and the available experimental and calculation facilities create privileged conditions for the comprehensive training of future researchers and professionals.
