Meeting 21st centurys challenges of climate change and scarcity of crude oil requires the transition to alternatively powered vehicles, such as electric vehicles. As a consequence, car manufacturers have to integrate these vehicles into their product portfolios. Decisions have to be made about, for instance, the power-train to be offered in specific vehicle models and their times of introduction. This is a complex decision making task, especially due to high uncertainties about the future development of the market demand for alternatively powered vehicles.
