About us

At the forefront of the industry for 70 years

By 2030, the German automotive industry will be smaller, more capital- and software-intensive, and more internationalized. Germany is likely to remain a major center for development and production—though less so in terms of unit volume and workforce size, and more so in terms of complex vehicles, automation, system integration, and industrial scaling. The transformation is creating new jobs, but likely not enough to fully offset the losses in traditional sectors. 

“Automobil Industrie” is the only general-interest publication among the trade media to comprehensively cover this transformation—across all media channels. We examine every stage of the value chain for passenger cars, trucks, and commercial vehicles—from the development and extraction of raw materials, through production and the vehicles’ life cycles, all the way to recycling.
"Automobil Industrie" takes into account all stages of the value chain and fully captures the transformation of the industry.
