Sustainable future mobility

The Center for Sustainable Future Mobility (CSFM) consolidates and coordinates research efforts of about 40 research groups within the ETH Zurich, Empa, and PSI. The center contributes to addressing the grand challenges of the transport sector and delivering research-based solutions to the design and implementation of sustainable transport systems which will be safe, reliable, fast, socially desirable, environmentally friendly, and cost-efficient.

The Center is based at the Departments of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (D-​BAUG) and of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-​MAVT). It builds on the strategic partnership established in 2018 with SBB followed by Siemens Mobility and AMAG.
