eMove360° Award 2025: Ceremonial award ceremony at the eMove360° Europe 2025 – AI is driving the Mobility – International Conference & Exhibition in Munich
Munich, October 2025 – As part of the eMove360° Europe 2025 – AI is driving the Mobility – International Conference & Exhibition for Electric & Autonomous Mobility (October 14-15), the winners of the world’s most important award for new mobility were announced. The expert jury of the eMove360° Award for Electric & Autonomous Driving has nominated the most innovative and promising entries for mobility from more than 30 submissions. The judges selected three companies as winners in the Battery & Powertrain, Electric Utility Vehicle and Autonomous Vehicle category. They were honored at the exclusive ambience of the Holiday Inn Hotel Munich Westpark on October 14.
“For many years, the eMove360° Award has been a seal of quality for innovations in electric mobility. In my many years as a jury member, I have had the opportunity to review and nominate countless exciting submissions: electric vehicles, charging technologies, electronics, and mobility concepts – many of the “award-winning” innovations have now been realized and established on the market,” said Holger Czuday, Head of Automotive Cluster Bayern Innovativ, in his laudatory speech at this year’s eMove 360° Europe awards ceremony.
“And – with or without an award – we have been able to continue to support many of the innovative submissions within the Automotive Cluster, including by finding cooperation partners and marketing them on our cluster platforms,” Czuday continued.
„The range of submissions for the ninth edition of the eMove360° Award are pleasingly broad for a B2B technology award: from start-ups that are breaking completely new technical ground or developing intelligent concepts for the mobility of tomorrow, to established companies in the automotive industry that provide practical answers to pressing questions posed by the transition from fossil fuels to sustainable mobility,” summarizes Robert Metzger, Managing Director of eMove360 Media GmbH and organizer of the award.

The winners of the eMove360° Award 2025 at a glance
Category Battery & Powertrain
Winner: PreDesign by SmartCable GmbH
The architectural design in preDesign can be done to scale or not to scale and is suitable for both combustion engines and electric mobility. This is achieved by calculating drive-specific parameters and comparing them with rules from knowledge catalogs. preDesign enables the derivation of key data for required space, electrical design, and manufacturing, as well as the integration of simulations. Additionally, auxiliary systems can be generated through generative design, and design alternatives can be compared.
Category: Electric Utility Vehicle
Winner: Ultre4Cargo by Zieta Prozessdesign sp.zo.o/Ultre Mobility
The Ultre 4 Cargo is an electric vehicle for the last mile, combining the benefits of light delivery vehicles and commercial vehicles: light weight, maneuverability, high loading capacity (4m³, 2.8m package length), and suitable speed for urban transport. It is energy-efficient, simply built, and ideal for urban transport needs. The goal of Ultre is to create a sustainable, ecological, and agile transport fleet focused on functionality rather than luxury.

Category Autonomous Vehicle
Winner: Karsan e-ATAK by Karsan Otomotiv Sanayii ve Tic. A.Ş.
KARSAN Autonomous e-ATAK is a Level-4, factory-configured, fully electric bus developed by Karsan and ADASTEC. It supports driverless operation in mixed traffic using LiDAR, radar, and AI-based control systems. With a 300 km range (BMW battery), 55 km/h max speed, and capacity for 52 passengers, it is the first homologated full-size autonomous bus in serial production. It operates in real-life public transport across 12 projects in Europe and the USA, including tunnel navigation and campus use.
