Projects
Have a look at a small selection of our work on the mobility of tomorrow.
MODI
The project MODI adresses the shortage of driving personnel in a fast-growing logistics industry as well as road safety. As a European lighthouse project, MODI aims to accelerate the introduction of highly automated and connected driving in heavy-duty traffic to improve European logistics chains. We are responsible for the use case Germany in which the focus is on the transition from manual to highly automated driving scenarios.

ALIKE
Hamburg aims to provide all residents with a suitable mobility offer within five minutes by 2030. To achieve this goal, the city plans to introduce a flexible shuttle service with autonomous vehicles as a complement to the traditional public transportation system.
The research project ALIKE should be the first to integrate a fleet of fully electric and autonomous shuttles into public transportation. These shuttles, the HOLON Mover and the ID. Buzz AD from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, are equipped with a self-driving system from Mobileye. The launch of the autonomous ride-pooling service, operated by Hamburger Hochbahn and MOIA, will start in 2025. ALIKE pave the way for the scaling of autonomous mobility. As part of the ALIKE project, we coordinate the sub-project for managing political tasks.

ahoi
The ahoi project is researching and developing autonomous on-demand mobility services. These services enable users to utilize transportation according to their individual needs while also bundling trips. This reduces traffic congestion and promotes environmentally friendly mobility.
ahoi is one of the first services in Europe to combine manual and autonomous vehicles. The focus is on accessibility for all population groups and seamless connection to public transport. Our role in the project: leading the accessibility workgroup.

German festival of unity 2023 in Hamburg
On June 14, 2025, immediately before the UITP Summit —the world’s largest congress for public transport— the Mobility Festival took place for all citizens of Hamburg. Under bright sunshine, The Jungfernstieg was transformed into a lively stage for the mobility of today and tomorrow.
Around 15,000 visitors were able to experience and discover selected exhibits and innovative projects up closely. Mobility has many faces and the Mobility Festival brought them to life: from a scooter course to an S-Bahn simulator. Topics such as autonomous driving and digital traffic control were also presented in a creative way. One highlight was the performance by Tobias Krell, known as “Checker Tobi,” who thrilled a large fan base with his enthusiastic performance. .
We were responsible for the entire organization and communication of the public festival.
