The object of the ADAC is "the representation, promotion and advocacy of motoring, motorsport and tourism interests." The ADAC states that it represents the interests of motorists, though it also owns subsidiaries in different sectors such as insurance and publishing. These fourteen subsidiaries serve very different sectors, but all operate under ADAC Beteiligungs- und Wirtschaftsdienst GmbH, which assumes the holding function. Via its subsidiary ADAC Luftrettung (lit. 'ADAC Air Rescue'), the ADAC has been operating the largest fleet of ambulance helicopters in Germany.
