Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems

The Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems is a research facility in Dresden focused on mobility and transportation technologies. The site features four research departments, laboratories, test platforms, and a vehicle hall equipped for testing buses and electric vehicles.

The facility was founded in 1999 as part of the Fraunhofer Society and became a center for transportation and infrastructure research in eastern Germany. This establishment followed the region's economic restructuring and helped build scientific capacity in the east.

The institute works closely with Technical University Dresden and strengthens research connections across Saxony's scientific community. These partnerships shape the academic environment and research priorities of the region.

The institute is located at Zeunerstraße 38 in Dresden and equipped with modern laboratories and test facilities. Visitors should inquire in advance as the site is primarily a research facility with limited public access.

The institute develops high-power electrical systems through the MEGA-LADEN project to enable rapid charging of heavy-duty electric trucks. This technology aims to make freight transport more sustainable.
