Transition in the automotive supply sector towards mobility planning
In a recent discussion with interested citizens, Federal Minister of Transport Patrick Schnieder highlighted the need for infrastructure improvement in the region, particularly focusing on mobility.
The minister's visit to Mönchengladbach also included a trip to the driving school B2M, where he was impressed by the school's own test track. However, contrary to some reports, Minister Schnieder did not express any plans to visit the driving school B2M or discuss mobility and current challenges with its staff.
The poor infrastructure, according to Minister Schnieder, is the main reason for delays and failures on the railway. He mentioned that 4,000 bridges in the core network require renovation nationwide.
Meanwhile, a local campaign is underway for the expansion of the S-Bahn, which currently ends at Mönchengladbach Central Station, to Rheydt, Wickrath, and the Heinsberg district.
Aesthetics and driving comfort are increasingly important in the automotive industry, as opposed to engine power being the main focus in the past. This shift in focus was not directly addressed by Minister Schnieder during his visit.
The Mönchengladbach-based company AUNDE, one of the 60 largest automotive suppliers worldwide, was not a topic of discussion during the minister's visit. AUNDE, which employs over 24,000 people, produces textile materials and complete seats that are used in cars and trucks worldwide.
In a separate event, AUNDE's CEO, Peter Bolten, discussed the state of the industry and future developments with visitors in the company's own exhibition truck.
Minister Schnieder announced planning another trip to Mönchengladbach to personally experience the positive development at the airport. The airport is gaining attention as an innovation location in the industry.
The local CDU has demanded the upgrade of highways around the future open-cast mining lake. Jochen Klenner, CDU party leader, reported that the A61 will remain interrupted but the current bypass route should be upgraded.
In conclusion, Minister Schnieder's visit to Mönchengladbach focused on the need for infrastructure improvement and the challenges in mobility. While the automotive industry and the Mönchengladbach airport were mentioned, there was no direct discussion about the local company AUNDE or its CEO, Peter Bolten.
