Welcome to the Institute Mobile Machines
The Mobile Machinery Division (Mobima) of the KIT is unique in its form in Germany and is now internationally recognized as a specialist center for questions in the field of mobile machinery. Its declared aim is research into future concepts. The aim is to get students and young scientists interested in mobile machines and to provide industry with competent scientific support from the idea to implementation.





We currently have two vacancies within the EU Project ENGAGE in the areas of Sufficient Safety Performance Level (AgPL) for Geofence-solution for Autonomous Agricultural Vehicles and Off-highway Road Quality Maintenance for Autonomous Earth-moving Machines.

We congratulate our project partner Müller Landmaschinen GmbH and Aebi Schmidt Switzerland on winning the gold medal in the DLG Innovation Award AGRITECHNICA 2025!
