Bauma 2022

25.10. - 26.10.2022

In cooperation with the student council and Harald Schneider from the Institute of Technology and Management in Construction, a bus full of KIT students were once again able to spend two days at "bauma", the world's largest trade fair for construction machinery, which takes place every three years in Munich.

The sheer quantity and variety of construction machinery on display was truly impressive. During our guided tours of the stands of companies such as Liebherr, Layher, Wolffkran, Herrenknecht and the Wirtgen Group, we were able to learn a lot about the countless machines.

A particular focus was on the latest developments, such as excavators with electric or hydrogen drives and the numerous augmented reality tools that will make construction more climate-friendly and easier in the coming years.

At the end of our visit, we all left the exhibition grounds with tired legs, but also a completely new perspective on the various machines, that will support us in our future professions.
