CO ₂ reduction, decarbonization, climate protection, sustainability — keywords that describe the challenges of mobility for the coming years and decades. Upper Austria as an automotive location in particular is disproportionately affected by these developments, which is why the topics of digitalization, lightweight construction & composites as well as alternative drive concepts and charging infrastructure are particularly in focus. This applies to both on and off-highway applications.

Continuous process optimization is a key factor in ensuring competitiveness. In addition to KVP & Lean Management, exchange of experience and qualification measures play an important role here. Sustainability & CSR are becoming increasingly important. For this reason, topics such as LCA, CSR and alternative & environmentally friendly materials are particularly in focus.
