Sustainable and modern mobility are the main objectives of the VDA. The VDA nationally and internationally promotes the interests of the entire German automotive industry. It can bank on a strong power base of members consisting of automobile manufacturers, suppliers and manufacturers of trailers, special bodies and containers. Unlike in many other countries, they are organized under one association, resulting in decisive advantages for the German automotive industry through direct dialogue and rapid decision-making.

In the interest of all its members, the VDA is active in all areas of the motor traffic industry like economic and transport policy, technical legislation, quality assurance and taxation. In addition, the environment and climate protection are of particular importance. The VDA is also the organizer of international motor shows for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, which always draw the great interest of the experts and public alike.

The German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) consists of about 600 member companies, who have come together to research and produce clean and safe auto-mobility for the future. In the country that is known for its successful invention of both automobiles and trucks, the VDA represents the automotive manufactures and supply companies to ensure the continued competitive utilization of their experience and skills. The cooperation between manufactures and suppliers in the VDA is unique in the world of motoring.

Since 1946, the VDA has lobbied nationally and internationally for the creation of the best possible auto-mobility. Our goals are safety, quality and sustainability at the highest technical level. As the representative of the key industry in the German economy, the VDA is responsible in the meantime for every seventh job in Germany and leads a lively dialogue with the industry, the public, politicians and customers, for example, as the organizer of the world’s largest automobile exhibition, the International Motor Show (IAA).

History
The VDA can now look back on over 100 years of existence
The birthplace of the Association was in Eisenach. There, on 19 January 1901, the Verein Deutscher Motorfahrzeug-Industrieller (VDMI) - "Association of German Motor Vehicle Industrialists" - was founded by Gustav Vischer (manager of Daimler Motoren Cannstatt), Baron Eugène de Dietrich (Dietrich + Co. Niederbronn/Elsaß), Heinrich Kleyer (manager of Adler-Fahrradwerke Frankfurt/M.), Gustav Ehrhardt (manager of Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach), Willy Tischbein (manager of Conti Gummi), Moritz Hille (Hille-Werke Dresden), Wilhelm Opel (Opel Rüsselsheim), Karl Fichtel (Fichtel + Sachs Schweinfurt), and Gustav Freund (manager of Automobiltechnische Gesellschaft, Automobilausstellung Berlin). The first president of the VDMI was Gustav Vischer, and his vice-president was Baron Eugène de Dietrich.

The tasks that the VDMI set itself included the promotion of road transport, defence against "burdensome measures by the authorities" (taxation, liability obligations), customs protection and the monitoring of motor shows. In 1923, the VDMI was renamed the Reichsverband der Automobilindustrie (RDA). The present name, Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA) was given to this umbrella organisation of the German automotive industry on 2 May 1946.
