The cooperation aims to develop Hamburg as a model city for forward-looking, sustainable and integrated urban mobility.

First Mayor Olaf Scholz said: “Here in Hamburg, we want to safeguard mobility for all citizens. At the same time, it is our aim to make traffic in our city cleaner, quieter and safer. Technological progress is the only way to achieve that. What is needed is the resourcefulness and inventive spirit of German industry, and we are seeking to cooperate with leading companies such as Volkswagen. We are reaching out to anyone wishing to collaborate with us on modern mobility solutions in both passenger and freight transport.”
