• Researched the development of a generic electric vehicle powertrain model applied on an electric city bus. Research was done with the development of a Matlab/Simulink model which simulated the entire electric powertrain including battery and auxiliary systems. This model was then used in my research to provide insight in the energy consumption of the complete vehicle. • Later on (parts) of this model were used for feasibility studies and software validation models.
