Autosphere » Mechanical » Automechanika Innovation Awards Announced

In recognition of the 25th anniversary of Automechanika Frankfurt, the Automechanika Innovation Awards for 2018 have been subdivided into three categories—Nominee, Finalist and Winner—to raise visibility of the awards.

This year Bosch won in the category of Alternative Drive Systems & Digital Solutions. Bosch’s Common Augmented Reality Platform (CAP) adds a digital dimension to reality in the form of helpful supplementary information, such as videos, images and explanations. Bosch’s AR solution has resulted in new applications for the training sector, e.g., technical courses for workshop personnel.

And for the second time, the jury presented the ‘Green Award’ for the most sustainable new product among all entries to Knorr-Bremse Systeme für Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH for its Electronic Air Control (EAC). This new product was also the winner of the Automechanika Innovation Award in Truck Products & Services category.

The ten winners in three categories were chosen from a total of 120 entries. The winning Innovation Award entries can be seen together with those of the finalists in an interactive exhibition in the ‘Festhalle’ of Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre. For the first time, there will be guided tours to the exhibition stands of these companies during the fair.
