September 16, 2022: Hands-on Science & Citizen Dialogue "Mobility of the Future" in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany

How will we get around in the future and what will the mobility of the future look like, taking into account technologies that conserve resources and the environment? Research institutes located in Vaihingen are dealing with these questions as part of their research. In order to bring local research closer to citizens and to strengthen mutual dialog, the event "Hands-on science & citizen dialog: Mobility of the Future" will be held as part of the Stuttgart Mobility Week "Better Connected".

On the first Friday after the summer holidays, the research institutions will be showing, among other things:

  • - Novel electric motors of the Innovation Campus Mobility of the Future (ICM)
  • - Automated CampusShuttle of the University of Stuttgart (MobiLab)
  • - Information on the RABus project of the Research Institute for Automotive Engineering and Powertrain Systems Stuttgart (FKFS)
  • - Customized battery systems for the mobility of the future
