e-Powertrain: Building the Skills for Electric Powertrains

Visual representation of the 6 core technical modules and 3 ecosystem ones

The Project Conclusion

The e-Powertrain project has now reached its end.

Over the past year, partners in Sweden and Greece explored a central question: how should engineers and technicians be trained for the transition to electric mobility?

Through research, stakeholder dialogue, and collaboration with industry and education providers, the project developed a competence framework for electric powertrain training.

A Systems Perspective

The framework brings together core technical domains with the wider ecosystem that supports electrified mobility. It reflects the reality that electric vehicles are no longer isolated machines. They operate within a broader system that includes charging infrastructure, energy management, digital tools, and the electricity grid.

By structuring competences across these interconnected areas, the framework encourages a systems perspective in engineering education. It prepares learners not only to understand electric propulsion technologies, but also to integrate them within modern energy and mobility systems.

From Framework to Future Training

The result is not a finished course but a blueprint. The framework can now evolve into flexible training programmes delivered through digital learning platforms and vocational education partnerships.
