Commercial Vehicle Technology in Kaiserslautern
The commercial vehicle industry is one of the most important in-novation drivers in Germany, Europe and all over the world. Ger-many is Europe’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer. In the southwest of the country there is a particularly high concen-tration of manufacturing plants and suppliers to the commer-cial vehicle industry. The Commercial Vehicle Cluster (CVC) has established a platform for communication and cooperation bet-ween the industries and research institutes in the region. The University of Kaiserslautern is located right in the geographical heart of the CVC. As a result, it is within a very close proximity to both manufacturing industries, as well as a variety of renow-ned research institutes. The University itself promotes research, innovation and technology transfer for the commercial vehicle industries. It is the leading network in Europe for graduate edu-cation, doctoral training and R & D in the fi eld of commercial vehicle technology. The commercial vehicle industry sector develops and produces a broad variety of high tech products ranging from trucks, bu-ses, agricultural vehicles and construction vehicles, to a large scope of specialized machines.Commercial vehicle technology and its field of application are generally much more extensive, complex, and demanding in comparison to those of the automotive sector. For example, to-day, a typical commercial vehicle hosts upwards of 100 embed-ded systems, based on over 15 million lines of software code.The key objectives of research and development in the fields of commercial vehicle technology are:n Air pollution and environmental protectionn Comfort and conveniencen Cost reductionn Harmonization and standardization of variations and typesn Availability and reliabilityn Safety and minimization of risks
Graduate School Commercial Vehicle Technology
The Graduate School Commercial Vehicle Technology was estab-lished in 2006 at the University of Kaiserslautern as a corporate institution of four departments: Mechanical and Process Engi-neering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Scien-ces and Social Sciences.The Graduate School offers a master’s program in commercial vehicle technology, as well as doctoral research training oppor-tunities in the participating engineering disciplines. The CVT master’s program is the first interdisciplinary master’s program worldwide that is fully accredited by ASIIN. The program offers a bilingual, interdisciplinary approach and a close cooperation with the industry.The education and research on CVT topics will integrate all majorfields of the product lifecycle of commercial vehicles, such as power train, vehicle design, vehicle system dynamics, materi-al science, joining technology, production technology, and hu-man-machine interaction. At the same time, it also incorporates a range of sociological aspects and soft skills.
CVT - a pioneering study program….By adapting interdisciplinary approaches in research and edu-cation, the University of Kaiserslautern is pioneering to leveragecommercial vehicle technology at the cutting edge. It is the firstuniversity world wide to offer exclusive research-based tailor-made postgraduate education exclusively focusing on commer-cial vehicle technology and closely cooperating with renownedenterprises like Daimler, JohnDeere, Terex-Demag and other glo-bal players of the sector.

International Master’s Program ‚Commercial Vehicle Technology‘
The interdisciplinary and international master’s program ‚ Commercial Vehicle Technology‘ is based on a cooperation of four departments:n Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering,n Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering,n Department of Computer Sciences,n Department of Social Sciences.
The program implies:n Compulsory engineering modules (choice from catalogue)n Labs, project work and internships with regional and international industriesn Cooperative research activitiesn Study or internship abroad for German graduate studentsn Social science and soft skills coursesn German language course for international studentsn Special support (accommodation, pre-departure communication, support in administrative & social issues, social activities & cultural program) for international students: www.uni-kl.de/isgs
The master’s program is designed for three major target groups:n Highly qualified German graduate studentsn Highly qualified international graduate studentsn Further education for high potential employees of CVT enterprises
The two years master’s program leads to a M.Sc. degree.
