Research

At the start of our journey, we will investigate who the potential users of our proposals for new mobility concepts are, and which problems they need us to solve for them. We will establish an overview of trends, technologies and markets.

Design

We reveal potential solution spaces and develop tangible ideas with which to resolve the requests and requirements of our users with regard to new mobility.

Evaluation

We throw everything at it! Our users test our ideas. We check whether our proposed solutions are attractive, cost-effective, sustainable and technically possible, and develop a roadmap for proceeding.

Inspiration

What motivates us...

When we were designing this website, we had many thoughts buzzing around in our heads. We have shown a few here... What are your thoughts?

New ways

Expanding mobility and protecting our heritage – harmonizing both is the key!

Synergy

Are there concepts which, when combined, build on each other’s strengths?

Together

An integrated team en route to a common goal draws on individual strengths.

Context

Is it possible to develop concepts for mobility outwith their context? Or are exceptionally good concepts always dependent on their target environment?

Perspective

It is important to change perspective and think outside the box in order to see the bigger picture. Standard points of view don’t bring new insights.

Tried and tested

What do I need to do to transfer a long-term past successful concept into a successful future?

I want to join you!
