Contributor van Campen, J.M.J.F. (mentor) Faculty Aerospace Engineering Department Aerospace Structures & Materials Programme Design and Production of Composite Structures Date 2017-03-30 Abstract The goal of this research was to get a better understanding of the consequences of the integration of a battery electric powertrain on the chassis layout and its type approval in the European Union. The Roding Roadster was used as reference throughout this research. Based on the legislation for type approval within the European Union, requirements and tests were extracted which apply to electric passenger cars. Emphasis was placed on the understanding legislation for electric vehicles and estimation of the performance in collision tests.
