Automotive engineering stands at the forefront of research and development activities at the NETME Centre.
Focusing on efficiency, sustainability and safety our activities cover a wide range of industry needs. We have specialized groups working in areas such as alternative powertrains, cabin thermal comfort (HVAC), air quality, materials, tribology, virtual industrial design and simulations, to name but a few.
Due to this depth of knowledge, we are well positioned to find answers to a vast array of research plans and roadmaps. Covering all major engineering fields of expertise we are able to offer multidisciplinary research approach and accommodate challenging development plans.
The fracture-mechanics group consists of two senior researchers, one part-time senior researcher, four junior researchers and 2 PhD students. Officially
Tribology research is led by prof. Ing. Ivan Krupka, Ph.D., an internationally recognized expert in the field of tribology.
