Heilbronn Institute of Technology

Heilbronn Institute of Technology (HIT) is the new name of the Institute for Automotive Engineering and Mechatronics (IKM), which was founded on 5th May 2008. Within the HIT, there are centers for various research areas.

Its members are professors from various technical disciplines whose interdisciplinary cooperation is promoted and bundled.

The aim of the institute is to link teaching more closely with applied research with the help of industrial projects and to make the university's R&D achievements more visible to the outside world. Both Bachelor's and Master's students are integrated into the development and pre-competitive research activities of the regional industry.

Research Areas

The Heilbronn Institute of Technology conducts research in the Automotive & Mobility division on alternative propulsion technologies, automated and connected driving as well as sustainable concepts for the future of the automotive industry. 

Another research focus is Materials Processing & Engineering. This area focuses on the development and optimisation of production and manufacturing processes as well as research into future-oriented generative materials.
