We are pleased that the first subproject C2CBridge 1 – Analysis and functional solution concepts has started.

Based on an analysis of the existing transport system as well as mobility behavior and mobility needs, the project focuses on designing the new mobility offer and the individual elements such as vehicles and transfer stations.

The C2CBridge 1 project runs from January 2024 to December 2026 and is funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) as part of the German Center for Future Mobility (DZM) with a total of 12.3 million euros. In addition to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, the FZI Research Center for Information Technology and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e. V. are involved in the project.

The C2CBridge project is embedded in the German Center for Future Mobility (DZM), which, with its four locations in Hamburg, Annaberg-Buchholz, Minden and Karlsruhe, is establishing a nationwide research network and pooling expertise in mobility research. During the course of the project and beyond, the locations will network via a series of events. These serve to promote communication in politics, business and society as well as cooperation between the locations. Annual rolling conferences, seminars and winter schools bring the scientists from the locations together. Continuous coordination between the projects at working and management level creates synergies and allows project results to be checked for transferability.
