BM für Innovation, Mobilität und Infrastruktur, Sektion II (Mobilität), Abteilung II/1 (Mobilitätswende)Europäische Union - NextGeneration EU

The Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure (BMIMI) is the highest federal authority in Austria responsible for national innovation, mobility, and infrastructure policy. Within Section II (Mobility), Department II/1 (Mobility Transition), it coordinates programs and funding measures to accelerate the transition to emission-free commercial vehicles and buses, as well as to develop the necessary charging and refueling infrastructure. In cooperation with the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) and largely financed by the European Union under NextGeneration EU & REPowerEU, the ministry provides non-repayable investment grants, thereby making a significant contribution to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 (or 2040 at the national level) in the transport sector.

The Mobility Transition Department within the BM for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure aims to make all freight and passenger transport in Austria climate-neutral. By promoting research, technology, and infrastructure development, emission-free propulsion systems, digital mobility solutions, and sustainable transport concepts are to be accelerated. The Ministry regards mobility innovation as a key factor for Austria's competitiveness and as a contribution to a livable, environmentally friendly society.

The funding programs of Division II/1 Mobility Transition are aimed at natural and legal persons with a registered office in Austria, in particular companies and consortia (vehicle and infrastructure operators), research institutions and technology providers, non-profit organizations in the mobility sector, as well as infrastructure operators and pooling companies. The target group includes all actors who intend to implement projects for the transition to emission-free commercial vehicles and buses and for the development of the associated charging and refueling infrastructure.
