Munich (dpa) - According to the organizers, the first International Motor Show (IAA) in Munich, planned for September, also attracts bicycle manufacturers and digital corporations.
“For example, the big World Cycling Forum in Munich is a partner of the IAA for the first time.
Many bicycle manufacturers have already agreed, and there are more and more, ”said the managing director of the Association of the Auto Industry (VDA), Jürgen Mindel, the“ Münchner Merkur ”(Friday).
The IAA should change from an auto show "to a mobility platform, that is our goal," said Mindel.
"Everyone who wants to play a role in the world of future mobility is invited" to show the latest solutions and products for networked mobility.
“The car is clearly still one of them.
Just like the bike, the train, the public transport, the e-scooter. "
After interest had shifted from auto shows to electronics shows such as those in Las Vegas, the trend was “going in the other direction again.
It is not the car that comes to the digital, but the digital to the car, ”said Mindel.
"And so we have IBM, Huawei, Mobile Eye, Siemens and many other digital companies at the IAA in Munich."

However, the corona crisis continues to pose a big question mark.
“We are optimistic that the general conditions will improve significantly by September and that we will experience the new IAA in Munich.
We are working on hygiene concepts together with our partner Messe München, ”said the VDA managing director.
"Visitors are registered, we keep our distance, the halls are ventilated, we have outdoor areas and overall we can plan in a very controlled manner."
