Innovations for the
mobility transition

The Munich cluster for the future of mobility in metropolitan regions (MCube) - of the Technical University Munich - uses the unique agglomeration of actors in the fields of mobility innovation to turn Munich into a pioneer for sustainable and transformative mobility innovations. The goal of the cluster is: to test and research leap innovations in the mobility sector and develop scalable solutions with model character for Germany and worldwide - from autonomous driving and electromobility to new legal foundations for mobility investments; from connected, AI-driven mobility control to the redesign of our cities and public spaces. .

What do we do?

We establish the vision of making Munich a pioneer for sustainable and transformative mobility innovations. The relationship between urban and rural areas is a particular focus.

VISION

We clearly align mobility innovations with societal challenges. The MCube Cluster intends to contribute to three missions in the Munich metropolitan region: improving the quality of time, space and air.

MISSION

MCube - a unique network of more than 50 actors from the Munich region in the fields of science, business, the public sector and society - is developing sustainable solutions for mobility in metropolitan regions.

NETWORK

Three fields of innovation

Three fields of innovation are developed through concrete projects and solutions for the future of mobility.

ELECTRIFY AND AUTOMATE

Electrification:

Holistic charging infrastructure solutions
Elektrifizierung gesamter Viertel in München (auch Lieferverkehr)
Emission-free urban traffic with acoustic improvement
Creating trust/acceptance for electric mobility within society
schaffen

Automation:

Autonomous shuttles for more time-efficient personal transportation
Automatisierte letzte Meile und Parken
Automating delivery traffic and logistics
Infrastructure for automation of traffic (control center)
Safety through autonomous driving

DEVELOP MOBILITY OPTIONS

Multimodality:

Radical transformation through demand-centered combination of different modes of transportation
Innovations and experiments in pedestrian and bicycle traffic
Mobility culture: understanding lifestyles, values and everyday practices, jointly developing and testing transformation scenarios
Technical enablers: sharing, digital platforms, Mobility as a Service (MaaS)

Digitization as a megatrend:

Big Data and simulations in researching traffic flows
Entwicklung digitaler Produkte, Rahmenbedingungen und Dienstleistungen (inkl. Sharing und Plattformen)
Reducing the susceptibility of existing systems to failure without building new infrastructure
Networking of data systems
Pilot projects in start-ups (e.g. Flixbus, Fernride, EVUM, Twaice, Artisense, Lilium)
