Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ((LNME))

Abstract

Vehicle industry plays an important role in the GDP production and employment of present-day Hungary. In the June of 2016 the share of vehicle manufacturing subsection within processing industry was 31.4% [1] and the sector employed 135 thousand persons in 2014 [2]. Thus higher education takes a significant role in the provision of adequately trained students and the co-operation with the industry has also a great role. The author reviews the training of internal combustion engines, which is the most frequently applied resource today—related to his own narrower field within vehicle industry and the joint research at the Department of Energy Engineering of BME. The author presents the Department in the field, the present areas of research, the industrial co-operations and the available infrastructure. Finally the further plans are being outlined.
