Power Transmission Engineering
VDMA Power Transmission Engineering represents the interests of the largest supplier sector in mechanical engineering. We are the network for around 200 manufacturers of drive elements, gearboxes, electrical drive technology and linear technology, who generate over 80 percent of the estimated production in Germany.

We prepare current topics in power transmission engineering for our member companies. We focus on technology, standardisation, market data, trade fairs, public relations and cross-industry dialogue. We provide impetus for technology trends such as Industry 4.0 and "Drive systems in Transition". In the areas of research and education, we use the synergy effects with "Forschungsvereinigung Antriebstechnik e.V.".
