From the cockpit of the future to new battery technologies and the use of artificial intelligence: The automotive industry faces a wide range of challenges. The Volkswagen Group Hubs address key questions and create space for new perspectives, concrete solutions, and partnerships. Visitors can learn about current developments, contribute their own ideas, and discuss them with Volkswagen.
Electronics & Connectivity: Reimagining the Connected Vehicle
What will the cockpit of the future look like? And how will automated driving become possible for all vehicle classes? The “Electronics & Connectivity” Hub is dedicated to innovations in infotainment, connectivity, and driver assistance. Among other things, the hub in Hall 3 focuses on AI-based assistants and adaptive user interfaces. Anyone who wants to help shape the next generation of vehicles will find opportunities here to exchange ideas about new technologies and collaborative development approaches.
Powertrain & Battery: Bringing Innovations to the Road
Future technologies must be high-performance, reliable, and economically viable. The “Powertrain & Battery” hub in Hall 4 therefore focuses on faster industrialization, lower system costs, and resilient supply chains for raw materials. Visitors can discuss with Volkswagen experts how new powertrain and battery technologies can be transformed into competitive solutions along the entire value chain.
Interior & Exterior: Sustainability Meets Design
A vehicle that celebrated its world premiere just a few days earlier brings sustainable material concepts to life in the “Interior & Exterior” hub in Hall 1. It serves as the starting point for discussions about the use of recycled materials, recyclability, and the circular economy. The central question: How can sustainable solutions be implemented economically while preserving design freedom, quality, and brand identity?
Metals, Car Body & Drive System: New Approaches for Body and Chassis
Using fewer resources, shortening development times, and creating tangible added value for customers: The “Metals, Car Body & Drive System” hub in Hall 5 focuses on new materials, intelligent manufacturing technologies, and virtual engineering. Together with visitors, experts will explore how innovations for car bodies and drivetrains can strengthen the competitiveness of future vehicles.
General Procurement & AI: Shaping Collaboration with AI
How can artificial intelligence, automation, and data-driven technologies improve processes? The “General Procurement & AI” hub in Hall 6 brings together the perspectives of procurement and development. Together with suppliers and technology partners, Volkswagen discusses specific applications and new ways of collaborating. Visitors have the opportunity to share their own ideas and explore the potential for using AI.
