The IK at NFF
With its research focus on vehicle concepts, the IK is integrated into the Lower Saxony Research Center for Vehicle Technology (NFF), where it contributes methodological expertise in body and overall vehicle concept development. New approaches to vehicle technology are developed through a holistic approach to design methodology, thus making a significant contribution to future mobility.
As the leading research institute of the research area "Flexible Vehicle Concepts and Vehicle Production" (with the research centers OpenHybrid LabFactory und Battery LabFactory Braunschweig), the IK is researching new vehicle concepts and production systems for vehicles that meet changing requirements during development, production, use and utilization in different markets in close cooperation with the other seven institute partners,. The IK is specialized in new vehicle concepts that enable modular, adaptable, light and resource-conserving vehicles on the road and on the rail.
