What’s it all about?

How will we get around in the future? Quietly, easily and electrically – without any petrol or smelly exhaust fumes. In our Children’s University, we’ll dive into the world of modern e-mobility together and discover how clever electric vehicles are built that are good for our environment.

We’ll not only explore exciting explanations of how an electric drive works and what sets it apart from a petrol engine, but also look at plenty of real-life examples. Through colourful, real-world examples, you’ll see how researchers are constantly coming up with new, cool ideas for the cars of the future. There are already vehicles today that run solely on electricity – and perhaps you’ve got a brilliant idea of your own on how cars can become even more environmentally friendly!

Join in and find out how we can all travel towards a clean, green future. Become an electric car explorer and help shape the mobility of tomorrow!
