The Institute for Mobility Research is a research facility of the BMW Group. Its main task is to initiate cross-modal and interdisciplinary research with an international perspective in the domain of mobility and transport.
Since the BMW Group sees itself as a responsible mobility company, it necessarily also sees its aim as active involvement in a major, complex and networked area of conflicting interests and, thus, conducting future-orientated mobility research for the benefit of all.
ifmo’s aim is to make a contribution towards ensuring sustained mobility in the long term, in a diverse and demanding environment.
ifmo Network
We employ the services of internationally renowned scientists to deal with our projects, selecting the most suitable partner in each case. This has the advantage of ensuring that the results remain uninfluenced by the interests of any one party.
