The IAA 2017 has once again proved that it is the leading trade fair for mobility and the only automotive exhibition showcasing the entire value creation chain, from the development of individual ideas all the way to comprehensive mobility solutions. The new vehicle models were of course another focus of interest. But the IAA long ago became more than a motor show. It was dedicated to all aspects of mobility. It also supports the companies and exhibitors in the shift from automobile manufacturers to mobility service providers. Furthermore, at the IAA the OEMs and suppliers issued key statements about the development of electric mobility and about classical combustion engines. The German manufacturers alone started an offensive for emissions-free and climate-neutral cars with over 150 electric models in the next few years. A total of 228 world premieres were celebrated.
