DLR

We drive future

The Institute of Vehicle Concepts is an internationally recognised expert for the systemic design of road and rail vehicles that enable climate and environmentally friendly mobility while being affordable and user-friendly.

We research and demonstrate the key technologies required for this and maintain a close cooperation with other scientific institutions, industry and politics.

We act on the basis of three principles: Protecting the climate — Securing mobility — Successfully transforming transport carriers.

The DLR Institute of Vehicle Concepts

  • defines and analyses forward-looking concepts for ground-based freight and passenger transport and its integration into multimodal transport chains
  • integrates digital technologies and significantly advances their interfaces with infrastructure
  • researches sustainable materials, manufacturing processes and key technologies
  • provides the necessary knowledge, continuously improves and expands it
