For sporty-emotional cars a lower seating position might make it necessary to use the package in the rear end. In addition, lightweight design solutions are necessary. This paper deals with the question of how a new innovative and integrative rear end for a battery electric vehicle can be designed. Therefore, different solutions are designed and assessed, whereby a stack of five battery modules and a specially devolved axle are designed.With regard to separate topics, parts are manufactured and different tests are applied. With this approach it is possible to reach ambitious goals by means of functional integration and close interdepartmental collaboration.enFunctional integrationBatterieElektroautoconference paper
