Sustainable and intelligent mobility and logistics
The mobility of the future will be resource-efficient and climate-neutral, connected, multimodal, and particularly user-friendly. Digitalization is the driver for the development of innovative mobility carriers on the one hand and novel mobility models on the other. Driving tasks are increasingly being taken over by machines and algorithms, so that the role of humans in the mobility system is changing.
The field "Sustainable and intelligent mobility and logistics“ encompasses the area of mobility and transport concepts in the narrower sense, the employee-intensive logistics industry, as well as the automotive and supplier segment, which, viewed as an industry, consistently ranks among the TOP 3 industrial sectors with the highest sales throughout Thuringia.
In the specialization profile, clear references to future trends can be identified: approaches to resource conservation (e.g., less weight, alternative drives) are found here, as well as topics of networking (e.g., sector coupling, interaction between vehicles), aspects of multimodality (e.g., platform-based mobility services, new mobility carriers) or user-friendliness (e.g., platform-based logistics services, new functions).

Profile
Vision and goals
Thuringia's innovative strength in the automotive industry, mobility and logistics is reflected in the following aspects:
Studies
Innovativ Thüringen designs, commissions, and regularly publishes analyses to examine trends and developments in Thuringia, identify potential for the Free State, derive recommendations for action, and implement them.
Cluster and Network Organizations
automotive thüringen e. V.
Founded in 2000 by nine Thuringian companies as Automobilzulieferer Thüringen e.V. (AZT), today's automotive thüringen e.V. (at) has for years organized well over 100 Thuringian automotive supplier companies as network partners. In addition, several universities, universities of applied sciences, research institutions, banks, leasing companies, and other service providers are members of at.
The automotive thüringen e.V. creates a platform for exchange as a partner and network, thus promoting new developments and successful innovations in Thuringia. It supports its member companies through analyses of relevant trends, programs for further training & employee qualification, the design of economic policy framework conditions, and targeted public relations work in the areas of technological development, operational research & development capacities, technology transfer through the use of local capacities at universities of applied sciences and universities, further training, customer-oriented quality offensive, risk analyses of new investments, and analysis of market developments (benchmarking with regard to OEMs, suppliers, and necessary infrastructure).
Logistics Network Thuringia e.V.
The Logistics Network Thuringia is a cooperative community of specialists from all areas of logistics. In addition to freight forwarding companies, shippers and contract logistics providers, the network brings together actors from the fields of consulting, combined transport, training and further education, IT, research and development, personnel services as well as logistics-related services, associations and public administration. The network sees itself as a competence cluster along the entire supply chain and represents a holistic approach.
The goal of the association is to strengthen the Thuringia region as a European distribution hub. To achieve this goal, the members develop future-proof, sustainable, and needs-oriented solutions and structures for the logistics industry. All Thuringian industrial, production, and trading companies also benefit from these solutions and structures, because a high-performance (production) logistics creates the basis for higher value creation and productivity.
The Logistics Network Thuringia is closely connected with other industry clusters and networks in Thuringia to uncover commonalities and achieve synergy effects. In addition, there is close Contact with other German logistics networks for mutual exchange and cooperation in cross-regional projects.
