Mercedes Entrepreneurs' Day Berlin: TMV and Bachmann fight for fair competition rules
The Taxi and Rental Car Association Germany (TMV) used the event to deepen the exchange with entrepreneurs, industry representatives and political actors. During the Entrepreneur Day of the Mercedes-Benz branch at the Airport Center Berlin, TMV President Thomas Kroker and TMV Office Manager Nico Höttges met not only representatives of Mercedes-Benz, the board of the Berlin taxi trade guild, and many other officials and colleagues, but also Bernd Bachmann, who for years has been regarded as the trade's dedicated voice in the Berlin suburbs.
Battle against unfair competitive conditions
Bachmann has been behind the wheel of a taxi for almost four decades. Formerly active in Berlin, he now runs his company in Bernau, Brandenburg. He became known in the industry primarily for his persistent campaign against unfair competitive conditions in the platform-based ride-hailing market. He regularly speaks with local politicians, participates in question-and-answer sessions in district councils, and calls for stricter controls by the authorities.
In the center of the meeting were therefore topics that the trade has been dealing with for years: the return-to-base requirement for rental cars, minimum fares, as well as the growing number of taxi concessions in the Berlin outskirts. It is precisely there that many taxi operators see an increasing shift of platform fleets, which subsequently operate mainly in Berlin.
TMV President Thomas Kroker stated clearly at the meeting: “Bernd Bachmann is a tireless fighter for our trade. His on-the-ground commitment is invaluable. We share exactly the same goals for Berlin and the surrounding area. The TMV will support Mr. Bachmann with all our might. Only together can we increase the pressure on politicians and authorities to enforce fair rules.”
Both sides agreed to an ongoing exchange.
