The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is showcasing its latest transport research projects at IAA Mobility in Munich. This year's focus centres on technologies, concepts and expertise for shaping the mobility of the future – testing solutions under realistic conditions and ensuring safe operation.

At the IAA Summit for trade visitors (Trade Fair Center Messe München, Hall A1, Stand B30) from 9 to 12 September 2025, DLR will present a remote operation workplace for the technical supervision of autonomous vehicles, as well as a mobile measurement infrastructure from a test field in Lower Saxony for automated and connected driving. Other exhibits will demonstrate how software updates for vehicles can be safely implemented during operation and how a tool analyses the charging requirements of electric vehicles to support the targeted expansion of charging infrastructure.

DLR will also be present at the publicly accessible IAA Open Space in Munich city centre (Odeonsplatz, OP320). From 9 to 14 September 2025, a robotically controlled off-road vehicle will be on display there. The vehicle is designed to be remotely operated through disaster and crisis areas. Visitors can also use VR headsets to explore how lightweight electric vehicles could make mobility more sustainable and flexible.

"Through its innovative and market-oriented technologies, data-based methods and digital solutions, DLR's transport research is an important pioneer for the mobility of the future. We provide crucial knowledge for action to inform social and political decision-making and, through our practical test infrastructure we support the rapid transfer of technologies into commercially successful applications", says Meike Jipp, DLR Divisional Board Member for Energy and Transport.
