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.

The IAA.prototype.club addresses key challenges facing the mobility and transport industry: decarbonization, digitalization, and automation — all under significant cost and transformation pressure.
The solutions to these challenges are created through collaboration. They emerge in ecosystems where a wide range of partners work together — from the energy sector and vehicle manufacturers to digital service providers.
This is precisely where a major opportunity lies. When established companies, academia, and young startups come together, new perspectives emerge — and with them, entirely new business models.
As part of IAA MOBILITY 2026, the IAA.prototype.club brings these partners together. It is where ideas, technologies, and collaborations become visible — and above all, tangible.
We are very pleased to be implementing this forward-looking format together with Prototype Club GmbH.
IAA.prototype.club at IAA MOBILITY 2025: Startup Factory Masterclass, Truck Parking Forecast, international startup reception, Productivity Booster, and the IAA MOBILITY Hackathon – a week full of collaboration, strong ideas, and new connections.
