mobility move: VDV-Electric Bus Conference

 

Electromobility in local public transport is currently a highly relevant topic, making it essential for the industry to maintain communication. mobility move provides numerous opportunities for exchanging ideas, receiving current expert information and benefiting from an extensive support programme. Since the beginning the emphasis has been on the objective conditions, field reports, technical advancements - predominantly within the domain of sector coupling and hydrogen, energy provision and charging management, along with depot and battery management.

 

There is no doubt that we must adapt our mobility to the future. The undeniable advancement of climate change highlights the need for a sustainable transformation in transportation. Alternative drive concepts and electric vehicles are essential components in creating a more environmentally-friendly public transport.

Electric buses are increasingly common in urban areas, with transport companies planning a complete fleet conversion in the coming years. However, e-mobility still faces numerous challenges. Our event will examine the current technology, depots and workshops. Companies will share their experiences with electric mobility in rural and urban settings, while speakers will discuss necessary fire protection measures and staff training. We will also examine alternative propulsion systems ranging from trolleybuses to batteries and hydrogen utilization.

Alongside digitisation and electric mobility, autonomous driving is one of the major innovation topics of our time. Highly automated driving is soon to be piloted in Germany, with legal approval now being followed by the first pilot projects in public transport. Public transport companies will convene on site to discuss the current status with the industry, business and politics. As always the VDV Electric Bus Conference and Trade Fair will offer assistance for future infrastructure investments, energy source selection and company support programs.

Trade fair evening "mobility move night" on 1st April 2025 from 6.00 p.m.

The event will commence with a networking event at the trade fair on the evening prior. Enjoy the extra evening to exchange ideas, network and meet with exhibitors and industry trade visitors.

mobility move: VDV-Congress on Future Autonomous Driving within Public Transport

The future is now: The first autonomous vehicles for local public transport are ready. It still takes a while before they can be used driverless in road traffic. This makes it all the more important that the industry stays in touch. The VDV-Congress on Future Autonomous Driving within Public Transport will therefore take place again in 2024 as part of mobility move. The combined event offers participants a variety of opportunities for exchange, up-to-date specialist information and an extensive supporting programme.

 

In addition to the digitalization of electromobility, autonomous driving is one of the major innovation topics of our time. The first prototypes of autonomous shuttle buses have been presented to the public. The industry is currently faced with the challenge of bringing vehicles onto the market in larger quantities. In the USA and China, driverless offerings are already part of everyday commercial life. The city of Hamburg has now set itself an ambitious goal: by 2030, 10,000 autonomous shuttles should drive on the Hanseatic roads.

Highly automated driving is about to be launched in Germany. Industry experts report on their experiences in deployment and expansion into numerous cities. In addition to reports from users, the event also takes a look at ongoing research projects. As usual, at the VDV-Congress on Future Autonomous Driving within Public Transport, local public transport companies will discuss the current status together with industry, business and politics.

At the trade fair, those interested can discover and experience the most modern autonomous vehicles.
