Center for Hybrid Electric Systems Cottbus (chesco) - a research center for the development of climate-friendly drive systems
Transport is one of the biggest CO₂-polluters
Mobility connects us, but causes around 20% of CO₂ emissions in Germany. At the chesco research center, we develop climate-friendly drives for traffic and transport. Our research focuses on electric and hybrid-electric drives for e.g. aviation, shipping, rail and commercial vehicles.
Climate-neutral flying as a special challenge
Developing drives for aviation is subject to special requirements. Weight is crucial when flying. Batteries for electric motors are heavy and provide less energy than kerosene. There is a great need for research here. That is why we at chesco are starting research in the field of aviation.
Due to high safety standards, it takes years to implement changes in aviation. The aim at chesco is to drastically accelerate the development of new propulsion systems. We therefore design, manufacture and test prototypes all in one place. All processes are also digitally mapped for analysis.
