Important visitors at the IAA Mobility in Munich: Chancellor Merkel wants to talk to the CEOs of the major car manufacturers about the mobility transition.

Munich - Despite major protests around the IAA Mobility, Chancellor Angela Merkel * is expected today.

She travels to Munich for the opening of the automobile and traffic fair.

After the last Bundestag session before the election, she wants to speak to the assembled car managers in the afternoon and then take a short tour to get an impression of the new electric vehicles and technologies.

The opening day is all about climate protection.

The CEOs Herbert Diess (Volkswagen), Ola Källenius (Daimler) and Carsten Spohr (Lufthansa) will speak about CO2-free mobility even before the Chancellor arrives.

Climate activists have announced protests.

IAA: Change from a pure car show to a city event

With the official opening, the IAA events will also begin in several places in the middle of Munich and the test operation on a so-called environmental lane between the exhibition grounds and the city. There, visitors can try out new hydrogen-powered cars for themselves. The change from a pure car show in exhibition halls to an event throughout the city is part of the new exhibition concept, which also includes 70 bicycle manufacturers, self-driving Deutsche Bahn shuttle buses and e-scooters.
