The electromobility offensives of VW, BMW, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are decisively driven by Saxon plants. Numerous players are also developing new drive concepts here - based on battery, hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. Not only for the passenger car industry.

Saxony's companies and R&D institutions have outstanding expertise in the field of "lightweight engineering in an efficient material mix". Demanding users of lightweight construction solutions are primarily the mobility sectors, which make their products more economical by reducing their weight.

Saxony wants to use automated vehicles to supplement public transport by 2025. This is stated in the state's digitalization strategy. Numerous players in Saxony are already valued partners of the international mobility industry when it comes to automated / autonomous driving.

Saxony has been one of the most important locations for the German bicycle industry for over 120 years. The local bicycle industry has particular strengths in lightweight construction and the use of state-of-the-art sensor technology.
