TMV: Patrick Meinhardt meets Thorsten Frei

Frei is the top candidate of the CDU Baden-Württemberg and, as one of the most powerful state associations, could certainly have a prominent position in the government or faction after the federal election.

The TMV's key issues are well known to Thorsten Frei:

“I know how close your contact is as TMV to our transport policymakers Thomas Bareiß, Michael Donth, Henning Rehbaum, and Carsten Müller. And also our party and faction leader Friedrich Merz, our General Secretary Carsten Linnemann, and our MIT federal chairwoman Gitta Connemann have only reported the best from the joint discussions. In terms of technology openness for drives, the repeal of the combustion engine ban at the European level, and at the same time reliable promotion of electromobility and the expansion of charging infrastructure, we are very closely aligned.”

Patrick Meinhardt, as the CEO of TMV, also sees many points of contact and once again emphasized how much the medium-sized taxi and rental car industry is concerned with fair framework conditions:

“That is why we are fighting for tariff corridors and minimum tariffs, for a real local transport initiative with a public transport taxi and for the inclusion taxi to be anchored as a societal task in the Social Code. We will also have to discuss an update of the Passenger Transportation Act in the next legislative period after the disaster with the small expertise. It will be all the more important that a future federal government conducts discussions with the associations on an equal footing.”
