MUNICH, Sept 10 ― Germany's revamped IAA motor show opened to the public this week, with climate concerns drawing anti-car protesters but also forcing the world's most prominent carmakers to showcase greener options.
But outside, the show, which takes place every two years, spills out into the city centre, with events happening throughout Munich open to the public.Climate change and the shift to sustainable vehicles are on everyone's lips at the show, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who opened the IAA with a vote of confidence for the industry.
Prestige brand Porsche is flaunting the bike rack on its new Taycan Turbo S and the own-brand electric bike to go with it, in matching colours. Israeli company City Transformer was meanwhile showcasing its Twizy-like model whose wheels can be retracted when driving at low speeds or when trying to squeeze in between cars at a crowded parking.Finding a parking space may soon be easier for some, as German company Bosch demonstrated its new driverless parking technology.
The technology is ready to be deployed, the company says, but for the moment is only available in the latest high-end vehicles, such as the Mercedes EQS.“Stop driving climate change” is the message climate activists have for manufacturers at the show.
