The M,O,C, is perfectly linked to the German motorway system and
therefore easy to reach by car: From the A9 motorway take the exit
München-Freimann, turn into Heidemannstrasse and, after about 500
m, turn left into Lilienthalallee.
When coming
from Munich, simply follow the road signs to oils+fats – these
will guide you to the M,O,C,. There is parking space for 1,500 cars in
the underground garage at the M,O,C,.
If you are using a navigation system, enter the address Lilienthalallee 40.
Ban on truck/lorry traffic in Munich
As part of the city of Munich's clean-air initiative, through traffic
of trucks/lorries weighing more than 3.5 tons is no longer permitted in
the city since February 1, 2008. The ban concept calls for through
traffic of trucks/lorries to be diverted to the A99 motorway. As a
rule, roadblocks directly at the city limits will not be used. Instead,
traffic will be diverted or rerouted by warning signs in outlying
areas, by prohibitive signs within the city limits (sign 253 of the
German road-traffic regulations with the addition "Lieferverkehr frei"
(delivery vehicles only)) and by detour signs indicating the way to the
nearest motorway.
Effect on vehicles making deliveries to the trade-fair center: The vehicle ban expressly permits delivery vehicles whose point of
origin or destination is within Munich. As a result, deliveries to and
from the M,O,C, are not affected by the vehicle ban.
However, trucks/lorries whose destinations are outside of Munich may not take the A9 motorway toward Munich when leaving the M,O,C, because doing so would make them "through traffic".
Low emission zone Munich: yellow or green emissions sticker required to drive into downtown Munich
Since October 2008
the city of Munich
is a low emission zone. High-emission vehicles are
no longer allowed to drive in the city center. A sticker will be
required to prove that your vehicle fulfills the EU exhaust standards. From
October 1, 2010, only vehicles with a yellow or a green sticker are
allowed to drive into the centre of Munich, vehicles with a red sticker
are not allowed.
The new regulation covers all automobiles, buses, motor homes and trucks. The "Mittlerer Ring" itself is not in
the low emission zone.
Messe München GmbH and DEKRA Automobil GmbH have set up a service
point for exhibitors and visitors. Emissions stickers may be purchased at DEKRA.
