CAM – Automotive mobility expertise. The Center of Automotive Management, under the leadership of Professor Stefan Bratzel, has been collating product innovations by global automotive companies and evaluating them according to quantitative and qualitative criteria since 2005. The winners of the AutomotiveINNOVATIONS Awards are decided on the basis of the annual AutomotiveINNOVATIONS Report, which is produced using the Center of Automotive Management’s innovation database.
For 2023/24, CAM analysed innovations from 30 global vehicle manufacturers and newcomers, covering around 100 automotive brands. A total of 709 individual OEM innovations available in series production in the technology fields of Electric Drive, Autonomous Driving & ADAS and Infotainment & Connectivity were evaluated. These include just under 200 – highly rated – world firsts. The scientific evaluation included criteria such as maturity level, originality, customer benefit and degree of innovation. In addition, around 300 additional pre-series innovations or concept vehicles indicate the future development trends of vehicle manufacturers.
