Zusammenfassung

Battery electric vehicles provide an attractive alternative to the internal combustion engine propulsion if they are combined with a fuel cell. There are no toxic emissions, as the hydrogen fuel is solely converted to water. The electricity stored in the battery and generated by the fuel cell is used to supply electric power to an electric traction motor, which also provides some advantages regarding the dynamic behaviour and drivability compared to the internal combustion engine. Further-more, the possibility to recuperate the kinetic energy during braking events offers a convenient strategy to reduce the fuel consumption of the vehicle.
