German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) Information

The VDA nationally and internationally promotes the interests of the entire German automotive industry and relies on a strong power base of members consisting of automobile manufacturers, suppliers and manufacturers of trailers, special bodies and buses. Unlike in many other countries, they are organized under one association, resulting in decisive advantages for the German automotive industry through direct dialogue and rapid decision-making. Our main objective is to support modern and sustainable mobility. In the interest of all its members, the VDA is active in all areas of the motor traffic industry: economic and transport policy, technical legislation, quality assurance and taxation. The environment and climate protection are of particular importance for us. The VDA is also the organizer of international motor shows for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, which always draw the great interest of the experts and public alike.
