North Rhine-Westphalia is pushing ahead with autonomous mobility across borders

Connected and automated mobility must function across national and international borders. North Rhine-Westphalia, Belgium, and the Netherlands therefore intend to further deepen their cooperation in the field of Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility – or CCAM for short.

At a joint workshop at Eindhoven University of Technology, the participating partners agreed to focus their existing strategic coordination more strongly on concrete implementation. The foundation for this was laid at a meeting of the CCAM community in Leuven in early 2026. The aim is to prepare for the most seamless possible cross-border testing of automated vehicles.

This collaboration opens up new opportunities to connect test environments, experiences, and expertise across national borders. Companies, research institutions, municipalities, and mobility providers can thus identify common requirements early on and test new solutions under different conditions. For North Rhine-Westphalia, this cooperation is an important step in developing automated mobility solutions from individual tests towards broader and internationally compatible applications.
