Some of the most revolutionary inventions in the automobile industry come from Baden-Württemberg. The German automobile industry's greatest competitive advantage is its strength in innovation. One third of the worldwide patent applications in the automobile sector come from Germany. With its revolutionary inventions, Baden-Württemberg plays a leading role here: for example, the automobile, motorcycle, spark plug, diesel injection pump or the Zeppelin. Even today, developments from our state contribute to making mobility safer, faster and more comfortable worldwide. These include, for example, ABS, airbag, distance control and Tempomat cruise control from Mercedes-Benz and Tiptronic transmission from Porsche.

Baden-Württemberg has numerous specialized research institutes that assist both automobile manufacturers and suppliers with know-how and practical support.

Baden-Württemberg is the center of the German motor vehicle industry. Around one-fourth of all jobs in this industry are located here. Companies like Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche or Neoplan and Kässbohrer-Setra traditionally set standards worldwide in vehicle manufacturing.

Baden-Württemberg is the most important location for automobile manufacturers in Germany:

• With DaimlerChrysler AG and Porsche AG, Baden-Württemberg hosts the headquarters of two of the most innovative automobile manufacturers. In addition, Audi AG has one of its most important production sites in the state.
• In commercial vehicles and autotuning, too, important companies, such as Volvo Busse Deutschland GmbH, Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG, Mercedes-AMG GmbH or BBS Kraftfahrzeugtechnik AG, are present in the state.

The unique concentration of automotive suppliers, research institutions, specialized study programs and technology transfer centers (Steinbeis) in Baden-Württemberg offers automobile manufacturers outstanding conditions.

The success of the Baden-Württemberg mobility networks is shown by cooperation projects that bring together various companies and institutions.

Numerous cooperation projects spanning companies and institutions create new market potential. An example: In 2001, the "Baden Württemberg Fuel Cell Research Alliance," the "Fuel Cell Competence and Innovation Center of the Stuttgart Region" and the "Fuel Cell Continuing Education Center of Ulm" joined together in the Baden-Württemberg Fuel Cell Initiative. The members from the electronics (e.g. Bosch, Ballard), aerospace (e.g. German Aerospace Center - DLR), energy (e.g. EnBW) and automobile (e.g. DaimlerChrysler ) sectors as well as highly specialized research facilities are working together here on developing the mobile, stationary and portable use of the fuel cell.

Here you can find events of Baden-Württemberg International on this industry.
