cityHUB – OUR VIBRANT MOBILITY STATION IN THE HEART OF COLOGNE

NEW MOBILITY – EXPERIENCE – UNDERSTAND

As part of polisMOBILITY, we aim to make tomorrow’s mobility accessible to everyone. This is why we are turning Cologne's Rudolfplatz into a cityHUB within the framework of our expo event.

E-bikes, cargo bikes and electric car sharing: right in the heart of the cathedral city, polisMOBILITY visitors will experience the mobility transition up close and personal alongside the citizens of Cologne. For this purpose, the cityHUB combines a broad selection of modern vehicles for local mobility, with both alternative and emission-free drivetrains.

On the one hand, we are offering a test ride for two-wheeled vehicles: The round course begins with a converted car lane on the Cologne rings, which has been turned into a comfortable cycle lane. The route continues along a short section of Palmstrasse. The circuit finishes alongside Cologne’s Friesenwall, which has been converted into a cycle lane – at this point, car traffic must be subordinate to bicycle traffic – and returns to Rudolfplatz.

On the other hand, those interested are given the unique opportunity to book guided test drives at the Rudolfplatz to start directly in public traffic and experience the vehicles in a real city environment.

In parallel, manufacturers and retailers from various sectors will present their products in designated themed areas at the cityHUB and explain the added value of their solutions for the city of the future – from smart city applications to pioneering traffic concepts. At the same time, street food stations will give ample opportunity for frank discussion about the experiences – entirely in keeping with the social principle of the mobility station.

An all-day shuttle service between Rudolfplatz and Koelnmesse will ensure that all spontaneous citizens will be able to conveniently experience all the other highlights of the polisMOBILITY on the right side of the Rhine.

Meeting place polisCAMP

One of the highlights right next to the cityHUB will be polisCAMP, hosted by the City of Cologne in the eastern part of Rudolfplatz. Formed of six construction trailers with front gardens, this forum for interaction will provide a stage for numerous initiatives and stakeholder groups to present perspectives from civil society on the humancentred city and tomorrow’s mobility.

infoHUB

If there are open questions about polisMOBILITY and the exciting world of new mobility, the on-site team of our infoHUB is always on hand at the Rudolfplatz to inform our guests about the many offers of our Event & Expo format.

This is how the cityHUB at Rudolfplatz brings the city and the polisMOBILITY grounds at Koelnmesse together in a unique way. We strongly believe that to understand the changes, challenges and promises of a new, future-orientated mobility, you have to experience them for yourself right where they are happening – in the heart of the city.
