The Problem
A challenge that affects everyone – but no one can solve alone:
Truck drivers spend hours searching for parking spaces. It costs time, money, and nerves.
The Initiative
We join forces: politics, industry, research, and startups are creating a scalable, data-driven standard for truck parking search – open, sustainable, for everyone.
On board: DLR, Toll Collect, and the German Federal Mobility Data Platform (Mobilithek).
The Process
One year – one problem – one ecosystem.
Politics, research, industry, and startups join forces to tackle an urgent mobility issue holistically:
Data Provision: Mobilithek & DLR
Innovation Development: Startups & technology partners
Reach: Associations & political communication
Validation: User feedback & live testing
The Result: A new standard for truck parking search – scalable, data-driven, practical.
Kick-off: at IAA MOBILITY 2025

Dear Sir or Madam,
Dear participants,
It is my great pleasure to be the patron of this year’s IAA.prototype.club. The innovation competition brings start-ups and established companies together to work on concrete solutions for the mobility of tomorrow.
Since 2021, the competition has been held alternately at IAA MOBILITY and IAA TRANSPORTATION – in close cooperation with the VDA. The platform not only offers young companies visibility, but also access to experts from industry, research, and politics. For me, patronage is not just a formal gesture, but an active contribution to promoting this format. I am delighted to support the competition in this way.
I would like to thank everyone involved for their commitment and wish you inspiring encounters, creative ideas, and every success in the further development of your prototypes.
Kind regards
Christian Hirte
Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister of Transport
