VDA Germany
Germany is where the automobile was invented – and this equally refers to the passenger car, the truck, and the bus. And it is here that it is being reinvented over and over again, with passion and with the art of engineering. Making mobility even safer, more efficient, more comfortable, and better for the environment.

The German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) was founded in 1901 and headquartered in Berlin. It consists of more than 620 companies involved in production for the automotive industry in Germany. The members are divided into three manufacturer groups: automobile manufacturers, automotive suppliers, and trailers, special bodies, buses. These three manufacturer groups find their representation in three divisions each assigned a managing director. More than 80 employees in 20 departments actively pursue the interests of the German automotive industry.
The task of the VDA is to ensure the right framework conditions so that companies, from start-ups to global corporations, can realize their visions and successfully bring their offers to market. VDA is also the organizer of the top auto show IAA (IAA Mobility & IAA Transportation) in Germany with over 120-year history.
