    Hannover Emission Zone

    Besides being home to many of the world's foremost trade fairs, Hannover is also known for its environmental awareness. On 1 January 2008, Hannover joined Berlin and Cologne in an effort to lower the health risks associated with motor vehicle exhausts (especially diesel exhaust particulates) in their respective city centres. To accomplish this, Hannover has established an official "Emission Zone" roughly defined by the expressways (Schnellwege) encircling the city centre.

    The Emission Zone is indicated by signs reading "Umwelt-Zone". Only vehicles which meet certain minimum requirements are permitted to enter the Emission Zone. To demonstrate compliance, an official permit (disc-shaped sticker) must be displayed on every vehicle's windshield.

    Taxi

    The journey from the exhibition centre to the airport takes approx. 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Taxi orders: Hallo Taxi 3811: +49 511 3811

    Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations

    During the fairs, up to 22 charging poles are available for you to use close to the entrances. They are distributed as follows:

  • 12 charging poles on car park North 4
  • 10 charging poles on car park South 32

    Arrival Access for the Disabled

    Arrival by Public Transport

    There are elevators at the following subway stations: Hauptbahnhof (Central Railway Station), Kröpcke and Aegidientorplatz.

    The rail platform at the Exhibition Grounds (Messe/Nord) is elevated, allowing you to mount and dismount unassisted.

    Mobility-impaired visitors can travel straight from the Central Railway Station to the Exhibition Grounds. Just take subway no. 8 or 18, which end up at the northern entrance gate.

    The new "silver arrow" trains on lines 8 and 18 are equipped with hydropneumatic suspension, so that the height of the cars, ideal for wheelchair users, always stays the same. The trains have wide, double-leaf doors, without any middle barriers. Each car has two open areas (with fold-down seats) for wheelchairs.

    A system of tactile strips in the Hauptbahnhof and Kröpcke subway stations leads visually impaired visitors to the train platforms. There are also tactile markers zoning off special waiting areas. The train destinations are announced by public address.

    Services for Air Passengers with Physical Impairments

    Passengers with handicaps or limited mobility can take advantage of a special all-inclusive flight package covering baggage transport, check-in formalities and wheelchair service right up to the plane. Each of these services can also be booked individually. To order this service, please contact Travel2Fairs.

    Parking Facilities for the Disabled

    A percentage of the paid parking spaces outside the fairgrounds are reserved for visitors with limited mobility. These parking spaces are always close to whatever gates are in operation for the respective tradeshow, and are specially signposted.
