A team from the Senior Professorship of Sustainable Mobility visited the Automotive Congress Südwestfalen in Hagen last week for the NeMo.bil project.

On January 23, the NeMo.bil project was presented at the Automotive Congress of the SIHK in Hagen. Flexible, autonomous shuttles are intended to help improve mobility in rural areas. Where it makes sense, the "cabs" join together to form convoys that cover medium distances in a resource-efficient manner and are pulled and loaded by the "Pro". Fabian Adelt from the team at the Senior Professorship for Sustainable Mobility at the TU Dortmund University has presented a prototype of the coupling system, which is designed to enable automatic coupling and uncoupling while driving. Is this opening up a new market for the region's automotive industry?
