DLR
Germany

At the DLR Institute of Transport Research, we shape the mobility of the future. To this end, we develop economically viable solutions that are socially fair and climate-friendly. We design means of transport, transport services and spaces for transport to meet the demands of personal mobility and the needs of production and trade. We conduct interdisciplinary research and pursue integrated approaches that look at the system as a whole. Studies and expert reports include societal readiness, the socio-economic impact of transport systems and their transformation towards resilience and sustainability – from electromobility and on-demand transport to public transport tariffs in Germany. We design new mobility solutions and spaces of transport to meet the diverse demands of a modern society – in both urban and rural areas. Furthermore, we help to bring new digitally supported transportation services to the market.
