Mobility grants in Germany

Closed

Pays one research project up to EUR 7 million to raise electric-car resale values by 20% through better understanding of how drivetrain components age.

Closed

Funds university consortia to create 3-5 industry-linked PhD positions researching rail topics such as noise barriers and smart energy grids.

Closed

Pays for rail and road infrastructure upgrades that speed up traffic at the EU's external TEN-T border crossings, from a EUR 20 million pot.

Closed

Funds innovation projects on vertiport management, automated flight and IFR procedures for crewed and uncrewed air taxis.

Closed

Funds one project that builds a shared data-sharing platform for connected and automated driving research and testing.

Closed

Pays one project up to EUR 5 million to develop mobile shore-power systems that let ships plug in for electricity at berth or at anchor instead of running their engines.

Closed

Pays research consortiums roughly €3-4 million to map the skills young people and workers need for the green transition in one high-impact sector and how to teach them.

Closed

Funds curiosity-driven, TRL0 fundamental research on air traffic management ideas outside the other listed priorities.

Closed

Pays three European teams up to EUR 500,000 each to produce investment-ready technical and financial roadmaps for quantum navigation sensors, as a readiness study ahead of separate EIB investment.

Closed

Funds two €6.5M projects using generative AI to sharpen real-time perception and decision-making for automated vehicles.

Closed

Funds €15–25M lump-sum projects led by industry to mature energy, power, storage, fuels or CCU solutions from TRL 6 to market-ready deployment.

Closed

Funds two €5M projects that give transport operators AI tools to predict service disruptions and cut passenger delay across real multimodal corridors.

Closed

Funds SME-led hydrogen mobility projects moving from prototype to market-ready technology.

Closed

Pays for upgrading or building locks, weirs, dams and other inland-waterway infrastructure on the TEN-T core network, from a EUR 350 million General-envelope pot.

Closed

Funds one consortium to design a lightweight regional rail vehicle and an automated pod-based multimodal transport system.

Closed

Funds first-of-a-kind low-carbon technology demonstrations in energy storage, industry, carbon capture, mobility, and renewables.

Closed

Funds two projects, worth up to EUR 5 million each, testing drone cargo delivery in cities and building the planning rules cities need to allow it.

Closed

Funds large-scale demonstrations of low-emission, climate-resilient materials and methods for building and maintaining transport infrastructure.

Closed

Funds two ship demonstration projects, worth up to EUR 11.25 million each, proving fuel-cell or engine power systems that run large vessels on low-carbon fuels.

Closed
