Bundesministerium für Innovation, Mobilität und Infrastruktur (BMIMI), Abteilung II/1 - Mobilität & Digitalisierung

The Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure (BMIMI) is a supreme federal authority of the Republic of Austria, headquartered in Vienna (Radetzkystraße 2). Department II/1 – Mobility & Digitization develops and implements funding programs and policy frameworks for the transport transition, emission-free commercial vehicles, as well as charging and refueling infrastructure. Examples include the ENIN program (Emission-Free Commercial Vehicles and Infrastructure) with a total budget of €365 million until 2026, and the special guideline EBIN for the conversion to emission-free bus fleets. BMIMI coordinates research, development, and innovation in these areas and works closely with the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG).

The BMIMI promotes sustainable mobility solutions and digital innovations to achieve environmental goals, strengthen the competitiveness of Austria as a business location, and enhance the quality of life for the population. Our objective is to advance the transformation process towards emission-free transport systems and to ensure the necessary infrastructure, technology development, and networking of all stakeholders.

The funding programs of Division II/1 are aimed at companies in the commercial vehicle and bus sector, municipalities, public transport operators, infrastructure providers, as well as research institutions and consortia in Austria. They are intended to support projects that promote emission-free mobility and digitalization, such as the acquisition of battery-powered or hydrogen-powered vehicles, the expansion of charging and refueling infrastructure, and the development of digital services for intelligent transport systems.
