Over 120 years of research and development

For more than 120 years, we have been investigating fundamental questions of vehicle technology as well as specific applications in our research. As one of only a few public research institutions worldwide, we at the ika are able to research the entire vehicle, including its systems and complex interactions.

Mobility is one of the central basic needs - making it possible for everyone in an ever more complex world is our drive and our task.
