On September 27 and 28, 2012, the 7th Colloquium on Mobile Hydraulics took place in and in front of the Audimax at KIT Campus South. The event takes place every two years, alternating between KIT and TU Braunschweig. The special feature is that the speakers exhibit a demonstration object or a demonstration machine alongside their lecture. This means that the theoretical content of the lectures can be demonstrated on a practical object.

The lecture series took place on September 27. After the opening by Professor Geimer, Professor Frerichs and Professor Lang from the Institute for Mobile Machines and Commercial Vehicles at TU Braunschweig presented current mobile hydraulic activities at research institutions. This was followed by the specialist presentations, which were divided into the topics "New mechatronic systems", "Hybrid drives and alternative drive concepts" and "Driving and working hydraulics". The main focus was on enhancements to existing functionalities and measures to increase the energy efficiency of mobile machinery.
The subsequent evening event took place in the test hall of the Institute of Vehicle Systems Engineering on Campus East. In an informal atmosphere, not only technical topics were discussed over dinner. An exhibition in the test hall and on the new chassis dynamometer framed the evening event.
On the following day, the machine demonstration took place again in the morning in front of the Audimax. The exhibits included a Claas telescopic handler, a Rauch two-disc fertilizer spreader, a wheel loader with parallel kinematic working equipment and a grape harvester from Ero Gerätebau. The event concluded with a lunchtime snack.
The next Mobile Hydraulics Colloquium is scheduled to take place on October 6/7, 2014 in Braunschweig.
