HOCHBAHN-Projects

Moving Hamburg in an eco-friendly way

Take a closer look at the future of mobility

From the very first U-Bahn line opened back in 1912 to the very first emission-free buses and autonomous vehicles – HOCHBAHN has been moving Hamburg forward for well over 100 years. Our vision of comfortable, superbly networked and environmentally friendly mobility for Hamburg drives us every day and makes us the engine for innovation. Yesterday, today and tomorrow: Find out here all about our current projects including the new U5 line, digital ticketing and Hamburg’s e-buses.

The HEAT project

HOCHBAHN has been moving Hamburg for over 100 years. We are always testing and developing. That's why we have the HEAT project, in which we are working with other partners to test Hamburg's first automated minibus for public transport.

Barrier-free expansion

More than 90 percent of our 93 underground stops have now been refurbished, have (partially) elevated platforms and a tactile guidance system for blind and visually impaired people. Now a few more "heavyweights" are to follow on the road to accessibility.

No more worrying about the right fare and the cheapest ticket - our hvv Any project promises nothing less than this ticket revolution. In the future, customers will be able to check in quickly and easily via app when they start their journey in the hvv and travel straight away.
