VOLT Augsburg – The electric mobility trade fair for southern Germany

Experience new mobility: solutions for everyday life, cities, and the future of energy

VOLT – the trade fair for electric mobility and energy solutions – is an innovative trade fair format in Augsburg dedicated to the topics of e-mobility, charging infrastructure, electricity storage, and sustainable energy supply. The event brings together trade visitors, end consumers, industry partners, and local government representatives with the aim of making the mobility and energy transition in urban and rural areas a tangible reality. As a platform for manufacturers, service providers, start-ups, and local authorities, VOLT offers a compact overview of trends, technology, and the implementation potential of e-mobility solutions – from electric cargo bikes and charging station systems to holistic energy concepts for buildings and vehicle fleets.

Hands-on technology – diversity in electric transportation

Providers from all areas of electric mobility will be presenting at VOLT: electric cars, e-bikes, e-scooters, charging boxes, wallbox systems, fast charging stations, battery storage, PV components, electricity tariffs for e-mobility, and fleet solutions for companies. Manufacturers will not only be showcasing new vehicles and products, but also specific application scenarios – such as how e-vehicles can be integrated into existing fleets, what subsidies are available, and how private users can combine their home power supply with charging solutions.

Energy supply of the future: networked, decentralized, and sustainable

In addition to transportation, energy supply is a central theme of the trade fair. Smart home systems, bidirectional charging, self-consumption optimization through photovoltaics, and systems for the intelligent control of consumers, storage, and grid procurement will be on display. VOLT thus highlights mobility not only as an individual aspect, but as part of a networked, sector-coupled energy landscape—including home storage, tenant electricity concepts, and energy communities.

Knowledge transfer for citizens, businesses, and politicians

The exhibition will be accompanied by a practical lecture program. In open forums, experts will discuss the technical basics, political framework conditions, subsidy programs, application examples, and economic advantages of e-mobility. Topics such as GHG quota marketing, charging infrastructure planning in apartment buildings, and the costs of electric cars compared to combustion engines are particularly in demand. There will also be specific sessions for local authorities, who will be informed about sustainable procurement, charging infrastructure in public spaces, and fleet strategies.

Hands-on trade fair with testing opportunities and advice

A special highlight of VOLT is the test track: visitors can test drive e-vehicles right on site – from e-bikes and e-scooters to compact electric cars. The program is complemented by individual advice services, for example on choosing the right wallbox, combining it with a PV system, or applying for subsidies. This turns the trade fair into a participatory platform – with low-threshold access even for people who are new to the topic of e-mobility.

Focus on municipal mobility transition

A growing area of VOLT is dedicated to the municipal level: charging infrastructure in public spaces, subsidy concepts for regional companies, networking of public transport and e-sharing services, and emission-free delivery traffic. Cities and municipalities present pilot projects – for example, on the electrification of city buses, the integration of e-car sharing in new development areas, or the use of renewable energies in street lighting. Anyone interested in other trade and consumer fairs in Augsburg – whether on technology, sustainability, crafts, or health – will find a comprehensive overview of the regional event portfolio at Augsburg Trade Fair.

Start-ups, new ideas, and regional energy initiatives

Young companies will also have a stage at VOLT – for example, in a dedicated start-up area or in guided innovation tours. Smart charging solutions, apps for finding charging stations, new sharing concepts, modular power storage systems, and automated energy concepts for commercial buildings will be on display. In addition, regional energy cooperatives, climate protection projects, and mobility initiatives will be presented—with tangible concepts for citizen engagement, energy consulting, and participatory models.

Augsburg as an ideal location for sustainable mobility solutions

The city of Augsburg combines tradition, innovative spirit, and infrastructure—with an active urban development policy, a modern exhibition center, and a high affinity for climate protection and sustainability. As a transportation hub with a growing e-mobility infrastructure, it is predestined as a location for a trade fair that actively accompanies the transition to sustainable mobility.

VOLT Augsburg—solutions for a mobile, sustainable future

The VOLT trade fair brings together manufacturers, consumers, politicians, and visionaries. It brings the mobility transition to life, provides transparent information about opportunities and challenges, and gets ideas moving. If you want to not only see sustainable technology, but also understand and apply it, this is the place for you – whether you are interested on a personal or professional level.
