Wiebke Labudde

Reiner Lemoine Institut

Germany

Wiebke Labudde started in October 2022 as a researcher for mobility with renewable energies at the Reiner Lemoine Institut Berlin. She currently works on the use of climate-friendly commercial vehicles, especially trucks and busses. Due to her master and bachelor studies in industrial engineering with the focus on logistics at the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg she is able to evaluate the current situation and therefore improve the commercial road traffic. In the project Netz_eLOG she was responsible for the simulation of driving profiles of electric logistics fleets with the goal to improve the grid integration of these vehicles.

Yannick Platow

Reiner Lemoine Institut

Germany

Yannick Platow currently works as a master student at the Reiner Lemoine Institut Berlin in the field of mobility with renewable energies. He started in September 2020 during his bachelor studies in regenerative energies at the University of Applied Science HTW Berlin. He is now in the master program and supports the team in the fields of mobility concepts and infrastructure planing. In the project E-Metrobus he analyses bus transport data and simulates different scenarios regarding the resistance of the battery of electric busses.
