Hypermotion 2020: On drones, cargo bikes, and electric vehicles in the city

At Hypermotion, the multimodal innovation platform, speakers will take a look into the future and shed light on new mobility and logistics concepts from November 10 to 12, 2020, in Frankfurt. The focus will be on networking among the trade fair and conference participants — both live on-site with a sophisticated protection and hygiene concept and digitally with new features such as live streaming and matchmaking, as Messe Frankfurt, the organizer, recently announced.

At the Hypermotion Lab, which serves as a central stage for newcomers, experts, and forward thinkers, disruptive concepts will be discussed directly at the interface of mobility and logistics. Everything here revolves around revolutionary ideas, projects, and innovative technologies that can fundamentally change the current way of transportation and logistics. In addition to the Logistics Digital Conference (LDC!) and the VISION mobility THINK TANK, three panel discussions will take place at the Hypermotion Lab, where experts will delve deeper into the use of satellite systems, innovative drone technologies, and the use of new technologies in goods production. You can learn about these topics in advance on the Hypermotion Podcast.

Logistics Digital Conference

The LDC! conference highlights new ways and benchmarks to make digital logistics faster, safer, more transparent, and more sustainable. Thematically, it covers topics such as climate protection and air quality, the problem of returns, and last-mile delivery. Experts discuss what new concepts exist for freight transport on both long and short routes. How can city logistics be made efficient? How do retailers and service providers best handle returns in e-commerce logistics? And is the use of electrified cargo bikes and hydrogen-powered trucks the solution for sustainable goods transport? LDC! is organized and moderated by the trade magazines LOGISTIK HEUTE, LOGISTRA, and the newspaper Transport from the Munich-based HUSS-VERLAG.

VISION mobility THINK TANK

Increasing urbanization requires new connectivity and mobility concepts. These will incorporate multiple types of transportation and eliminate the traditional separation between public transport, logistics, and exclusively privately used vehicles. In 2020, the VISION mobility THINK TANK of HUSS-VERLAG is dedicated to the topic "Alternative Mobility in the City". Experts explain and discuss new ideas and approaches in the fields of mobility, connectivity, and infrastructure. The focus is on electromobility as well as smart charging and load management. The startup scene will also not be overlooked, as particularly in the current time after the crisis and lockdown, new ideas and business models are more in demand than ever.
