FORSCHUNGSGESELLSCHAFT MOBILITAET - Austrian Mobility Research FGM - AMOR Gemeinnutzige GMBH

Their core work

FGM-AMOR is an Austrian research SME specializing in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation. They help cities redesign transport systems — from parking management and cargo bike logistics to child-friendly neighbourhood transformations and urban freight solutions. Their practical work focuses on developing and promoting Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), building local capacity for transport policy change, and running social living labs where citizens co-create mobility solutions. They bridge the gap between EU-level transport research and on-the-ground city implementation.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their early H2020 period (2016–2017), FGM-AMOR focused on liveable urban spaces — child-friendly neighbourhoods, traffic calming, and reclaiming public space from cars. From 2018 onward, their work shifted decisively toward strategic urban mobility governance: SUMP planning frameworks, parking policy as a behaviour-change tool, cargo bike logistics, and on-demand urban freight. This evolution shows a move from place-based interventions (making streets better) to systemic planning tools (making entire city transport systems better).

FGM-AMOR is moving toward urban freight decarbonisation and last-mile logistics, suggesting future projects will focus on zero-emission city deliveries and logistics-as-a-service models.

How they like to work

FGM-AMOR operates primarily as an active partner (6 of 7 projects), with one coordination role in Prosperity. With 141 unique consortium partners across 27 countries, they are well-networked across Europe and clearly comfortable in large, multi-city consortia typical of EU transport demonstration projects. Their broad partner base rather than repeated partnerships suggests they are valued for specific expertise that different consortia seek out, rather than operating within a fixed cluster.

Extensive European network of 141 unique partners spanning 27 countries, reflecting participation in large multi-city transport demonstration consortia. Their Graz base in Austria positions them well within the Central European sustainable mobility corridor.

What sets them apart

FGM-AMOR occupies a niche between academic transport research and municipal implementation — they are practitioners who help cities actually adopt sustainable mobility plans, not just study them. As an SME rather than a university, they bring agility and a results-oriented approach to capacity building and policy transfer. Their combination of SUMP expertise with hands-on experience in cargo logistics and public space redesign makes them a versatile partner for any consortium needing real-world urban transport transformation.

Highlights from their portfolio

• Prosperity
  Their only coordinator role (EUR 664K), focused on promoting SUMP adoption — represents their core mission and leadership capability.
• Metamorphosis
  Largest single grant (EUR 690K) with a distinctive focus on child-friendly neighbourhood transformation, combining transport with quality-of-life outcomes.
• ULaaDS
  Most recent project (2020–2024) signals their strategic direction toward zero-emission urban freight and on-demand logistics services.
