BVTM active in Brussels: Board member Gregor Beiner elected as Vice President of the IRU Taxi Group
The International Road Union (IRU) is a global association for commercial road transport. Within this organization, the IRU Taxi Group is dedicated to the specific concerns of the taxi industry. It represents the interests of taxi and rental car associations, companies, and other industry stakeholders at an international level. Members of the IRU Taxi Group are national and regional associations representing taxi and rental car companies. These include both larger interest groups and smaller organizations from various countries. The group serves as a platform for exchange among members to identify common challenges and develop solutions.
Fair Competition in the Taxi Industry
The goal of the IRU Taxi Group is to create conditions for fair competition in the taxi industry and to represent the interests of the sector in international transport policy. This includes working on regulatory issues, particularly with regard to digitalization and technological change. Additionally, the group advocates for sustainable mobility solutions and is committed to high safety and quality standards in passenger transport.
Another focus is on collaboration with policymakers to develop realistic and economically viable solutions for the taxi industry. This involves addressing new mobility forms and the competitive situation posed by platform providers. The IRU Taxi Group positions itself as a representative of an industry that, despite technological changes, plays a significant role in urban and rural transport.
Presidium elected for three years
Frenchman Armand Joseph-Oudin from the Parisian taxi company G7 has been confirmed in his position as president, and the second vice president is Jantine Vochteloo from the Dutch industry organization KNV. The new presidium of the taxi group will set the priorities on a European level for the next three years.
After the election, all attendees exchanged views on the difficulties of the taxi sector in the individual countries. Although each country has a different legal framework, there are some challenges that are encountered almost everywhere, such as the lack of charging infrastructure, which hinders the transition to new drive systems. Additionally, there was extensive discussion on which relevant topics are on the European agenda for the taxi industry. For example, "The Greening Corporate Fleets Initiative" is taking increasingly concrete forms, and it was discussed what positions the IRU can convey to legislators in Brussels.
In addition to international taxi organizations, Freenow is also at the table
Cooperation on an international level must bring about the necessary political change that the taxi industry urgently needs. In addition to the Bundesverband Taxi und Mietwagen as the German representative, taxi organizations from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Australia, the United Kingdom, as well as the platform Freenow, which now only brokers taxis in Germany, were present.
