NFF - Niedersächsisches Forschungszentrum Fahrzeugtechnik

The Automotive Research Centre Niedersachsen (Niedersächsisches Forschungszentrum Fahrzeugtechnik, NFF) is a scientific centre of the TU Braunschweig and was founded in December 2007 to establish the Braunschweig research region in association with the NFF member universities, TU Clausthal and LU Hannover, as a top location in vehicle and transport research with international visibility. The NFF is one of the largest and most modern centres for mobility research at any German university. Projects and topics are aligned to the vision „Sustainable Mobility“ - in five scientific research fields:» Intelligent Vehicle and Connected Driving» Low-emission vehicle» Flexible vehicle concepts and vehicle production» Mobility management and logistics» ElectromobilityThe implementation of the research vision requires a broad and structurally anchored interdisciplinary collaboration between both the natural and engineering sciences, so as to arrive at a holistic approach and solution. Research is conducted in the spectrum of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, chemistry, psychology, civil engineering and economics. Currently, the NFF has 45 members, who are not only from institutes of the universities of Braunschweig, Hannover and Clausthal, but also from other research institutions in the region (including DLR, Ostfalia, Wolfsburg AG).The NFF is also part of the core research area “mobility” from the TU Braunschweig and contributes its expertise to topics such as intelligent and networked mobility, low-emission vehicles with non-fossil energy sources and sustainable production.
