General German Automobile Club e.V. (ADAC)
2024
Mobility in Germany is becoming increasingly sustainable. However, the transport sector is yet to achieve its national and international climate targets. This is for the most part due to road traffic – cars remain Germany’s preferred mode of transport.
On behalf of the ADAC, Prognos compiled the ADAC Mobility Index 2024. In this third edition, we examined the latest available data on transport behaviour in Germany. The index provides a scientifically based data base giving a transparent overview of how the transport sector is developing. Equally, it creates a basis for objective discussion, which can enable sustainable changes in mobility.
The index is based on scientific methods and publicly available data that map mobility in individual and public transport. In the process, short as well as long-term changes are documented, evaluated and their origins analysed. Sustainability in the Mobility Index is based on ecological, economical and social aspects that are assessed across five areas: transport safety, climate and environment, availability, reliability, and affordability.
The year 2015 serves as the base year with an index value of 100. Around 85 percent of the data comes from public statistics, the remaining 15 percent were made available by trade associations and businesses.
