Thuringian Center of Drive train technologies
Innovation in Mobility
(ThIMo)
We are ThIMo.
We develop ideas and concepts
for the mobility of the future.
We cooperate with more than 300 partners
from industry and academia and are well
connected with research institutions and
companies in Thuringia, Germany and
worldwide.
We create innovations and provide transfer of
knowledge from the engineering idea up to
industrial research. We convoy technology
readiness towards experimental development
and market transfer. We shape the Thuringian
research landscape and support transformation
processes in the area of automotive and other
mobility-related industries.
We are an inter-departmental research institute
with about 150 scientists from 13 research
laboratories and four departments of the
Technische Universität Ilmenau.
We are a center of technology of the TU Ilmenau
with up-to-date research infrastructure and
living labs. Our core competences are:
• Drive train technologies
• Automotive engineering
• Wireless and information technologies
• Plastic technology and lightweight design
• Power electronics and
functional integration
