The NFF

A Research Centre for Vehicle Traffic of the Future

The NFF is one of the most modern centers for mobility research at a German university and focuses on promising topics in vehicle and traffic engineering research. As an interdisciplinary center, the NFF was founded in 2007 with the support of the government of Lower Saxony and Volkswagen AG in order to establish the research region of Braunschweig as a top location in vehicle technology with an international standing. This has created an effective cooperation platform for joint research by industry and science with locations in Wolfsburg at the MobileLifeCampus and at the research airport in Braunschweig.

NFF research vision: Sustainable mobility

Based on the existing social, ecological and economic requirements for the development of vehicle-related technologies and utilisation models, the NFF has developed the vision of sustainable mobility. This is implemented in five scientific research fields and is intended to ensure that individual mobility needs in urban centres are met in the long term.

NFF-Forschungsfelder

Interdisciplinary Cooperation

The realisation of this research vision requires broad and structurally anchored interdisciplinary cooperation between the natural sciences, engineering, economics and social sciences. The NFF pools research activities on the topic of mobility in Niedersachsen. The NFF currently has 49 members, which are not only made up of institutes from the universities of Braunschweig, Hannover and Clausthal, but also from other research institutions in the region (including DLR, Ostfalia, Wolfsburg AG). Research is conducted in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, chemistry, psychology, social sciences, civil engineering and economics. The NFF focuses on promising topics in vehicle and transport technology research, which are worked on in interdisciplinary research teams.
