  abstract = {The Electric Vehicle is seen to be one of the most important enablers
	for a more environmentally friendly mobility of people. Unfortunately,
	state of the art electric vehicles suffer from a series of problems,
	with facing a very limited traveling distance compared to gasoline
	vehicles being one of the most relevant ones. In this paper we present
	an approach how to reduce the energy consumption while traveling
	over longer distances by using the slipstream effect behind a vehicle
	ahead. We show how this can be implemented as a specialized form
	of cooperative adaptive cruise control, one of the innovative Intelligent
	Transportation System applications. The paper elaborates in detail
	on the reliability of the application from the perspective of the
	current ITS communication technology, by means of two example scenarios,
	and outlines also on other aspects of implementing Slipstream Cooperative
	Adaptive Cruise Control for electric vehicles.},
