Who are we?

At the Innovation & Engineering Hub, we develop bold, market-ready solutions that support Volkswagen Group and its leading brands. Together with TRATON Group’s Global R&D — home to brands like Scania, MAN, International, and Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus — we’re building the future of intelligent and sustainable transport. Global R&D focuses on:
•    Alternative Drive Systems
•    Digitalization
•    Automated Driving
•    Road Safety
We’re not just manufacturing vehicles — we’re engineering the future of mobility.

What do we do on our team?

Autonomous vehicles and their ecosystem are a top strategic topic of the TRATON Group (MAN, Scania, International, VW Truck & Bus) and our partners. To plan and fulfil their missions correctly and timely, our autonomous vehicles are connected to transport and fleet management systems, as well as customer and authority systems. In our team, we provide a platform that integrates, analyzes, and communicates the necessary data between all these systems. This provides easy access and economically efficient use of autonomous vehicles to our customers. We’re looking for passionate team members to help develop these essential components and shape the future of autonomous mobility.
