The Karlsruhe Research Centre for Information Technology (FZI) showcases innovative solutions for sustainable mobility and energy management at HANNOVER MESSE 2025. The focus is on bidirectional charging and the “GreenFlex” project, as well as research on automated local public transport, real-world laboratories, and open-source software.

The Karlsruhe Research Centre for Information Technology (FZI) is presenting innovative solutions for sustainable mobility and energy management at HANNOVER MESSE 2025 in Hall 13, in the THE-LÄND pavilion. The focus is on demonstrators for bidirectional charging and for the “GreenFlex” project. In addition, research work on automated local public transport, on real-world laboratories and on open-source software will be presented. The exhibition stand offers a platform for exchange with companies, research institutions and political decision-makers to jointly set new impulses for technological developments.

New technologies for an intelligent energy and mobility infrastructure

At the trade fair, the FZI demonstrated how digital technologies can help to make energy systems more efficient and sustainable. In the future, bidirectional charging will make it possible to charge electric vehicles and feed excess energy back into the grid. This opens up new possibilities for intelligent load management and grid stabilisation. On the basis of the “GreenFlex” project, the FZI demonstrates how industrial processes can be dynamically aligned with the availability of renewable energies in order to avoid peak loads and use resources more efficiently. According to the FZI, developments exemplify the institution’s application-orientated research approach: scientific innovations are transferred into practice and open up new possibilities for the economy and society.

In addition to energy topics, the FZI is presenting its expertise in the areas of automated public transport and real-world laboratories, such as the test field for autonomous driving in Baden-Württemberg. It is focusing on open, flexible systems that are enabling sustainable and safe mobility. Open-source software is playing a crucial role here, as it is making innovations accessible and accelerating the further development of autonomous systems.

Invitation to exchange

Interested companies, public institutions and researchers are cordially invited to visit the FZI stand at HANNOVER MESSE 2025 and to find out about innovations and opportunities for cooperation. “We would like to talk to potential partners in order to jointly develop solutions for the challenges of sustainable mobility and energy supply,” said Jan Wiesenberger, member of the FZI Executive Board.
