Sustainable mobility can only be achieved through the integration of new innovative technologies. New software solutions, cloud platforms, AI-powered applications, and advanced sensor technologies play a central role in developing autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and digital business models. A total of 748 exhibitors from 37 countries, a record share of 57 percent international companies, more than 500 speakers, and over 350 world premieres and innovations were recently on hand during IAA Mobility in Germany to celebrate mobility and transportation innovations.  “In times of dynamic economic and political challenges, our industry is demonstrating at IAA Mobility what it is capable of: with world premieres, innovative strength, and determination, companies are showing their performance and their commitment to actively shaping the future of climate-neutral and digital mobility,” said Hildegard Müller, president of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). Session highlights at the show included “Project Spotlight – Building Germany’s National Fast-Charging Network,” where Autobahn GmbH presented its ambitious plans to deploy a nationwide EV fast-charging network along the German highway system. The Electronica Automotive Conference explored the most pressing trends and challenges facing the automotive supply chain in a rapidly changing environment. The conference focused on electrification, hydrogen, fuel cell and hybrid drives, battery-electric propulsion, interior and exterior lighting, supply chain resilience, CO₂ neutrality, sustainability and recycling. The session “Safe, Fast, Innovative: Why the Future of Vehicle Software Is Open” featured automotive industry experts discussing a new initiative for cooperative software development aimed at faster product cycles, enhanced safety and an improved digital customer experience.
