Teaching in the two programs is intertwined and the two schools teach one-third of each other's curriculum. The above-mentioned top universities guarantee that teaching will be provided by qualified scientists and teachers, in modern equipped laboratories. According to the guarantor of the programme Sustainable Mobility - Drives and Vehicles, doc. Dr. Ing. Gabriela Achtenová, Vice-Rector of CTU, the teaching is unique not only because of the combination of both departments, but also because of the high subsidy of laboratory teaching - students will spend nearly 300 teaching hours in the laboratories. Classes will begin as early as the 2025/2026 academic year, and applications will open during December of this year for students graduating in the spring of 2025.
The study programme combines knowledge of conventional, alternative and renewable energy sources, materials engineering and related environmental aspects, fundamentals of mechanical engineering and design of vehicles and their powertrains. It provides the knowledge and up-to-date information needed to address the challenges of sustainable transport and its transformation. It teaches students how to design and develop new more efficient vehicle structures, transmissions and entire propulsion systems, and how to use renewable or carbon neutral fuels or fuel cells.

During their studies, students can also join the eForce Prague Formula student team, which develops its own formulae and achieves numerous successes with them in European competitions. Through the Engineering Student Club, they can prepare for a successful career by gaining contacts with top executives in the most successful companies. Of course, they can also take advantage of the wide range of study trips around the world.
Successful graduates of the Bachelor's programme can go on to Master's programmes of similar focus at both partner schools. At Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the CTU in Prague, exceptionally without entrance exams, but only with an entrance interview. Alternatively, they can take advantage of the demand for experts in the field of sustainable mobility, energy or the design of vehicles and their powertrains within the Czech Republic or abroad and contribute to finding the optimal energy source for powering vehicles of the future.
