As part of the BMBF-funded UNICARagil project, leading German universities in the automotive sector have joined forces with selected researchers from industry to rethink the vehicle and its development processes in a revolutionary way. The project consortium, led by Prof Lutz Eckstein, Institute of Automotive Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, will design a new disruptive, modular and agile vehicle architecture and platform as part of the four-year project. Based on this platform, four different use cases ranging from automated family taxis to mobile packing stations will be prototyped and validated.
