About us

At the pulse of the industry

The automotive industry is in the midst of the biggest transformation in its history, driven by the megatrends of electrification, connectivity and digitalization. The powertrain is becoming less and less decisive for the purchase decision, but rather the interior with new infotainment functions - keyword "user experience". At the same time, there is a growing realization that Germany is increasingly being left behind as an automotive location in terms of energy prices, bureaucracy, taxes and digitalization.

"Automobil Industrie" is the only generalist among the trade media to cover the transformation in its entirety - with its finger on the pulse of the industry and cross-media coverage on all channels. We look at all stages of the value chain of light vehicles and commercial vehicles - from the development and extraction of raw materials to production and the life cycle of the vehicles through to recycling.
"Automobil Industrie" looks at all stages of the value chain and maps the transformation in its entirety.
