Taxis, parliamentary circles, and the cultural asset automobile
The new legislative period is quite young, and the TMV does not hesitate for long. Even before political routines dictate rhythm and pace again, Chief Executive Officer Patrick Meinhardt seeks direct dialogue in the Bundestag. One of the first contacts: Carsten Müller, CDU member of parliament from Braunschweig – and an old companion.
Müller is familiar with the concerns of the industry not only from the distance of Berlin's political operation. As the former chairman of the supervisory board of a municipal public transport company, he brings the perspective of cities. And he is also considered distinguished in political Berlin: For years, he has been leading the parliamentary group "Automotive Cultural Heritage," which he co-founded in 2009. A forum that revolves not only around classic vehicles but also around their future in the political sphere. Last year, the editorial jury of Auto Bild Klassik honored him as "Person of the Year."
Müller sees the TMV's participation in parliamentary circles, even in this legislative period, as a gain:
"It is good that the taxi and rental car industry is also represented in this network that has formed around the automobile."
For Meinhardt, this is more than just symbolic politics. No mobility transition will work in Germany against the car, he makes clear. He sees the taxi here as part of the solution.
Practice instead of Bureaucracy
Another point of discussion concerns the topic of calibration law. Already in an earlier TMV newsletter, Müller had announced that he would address the complicated procedures in dealing with the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). Now, the CDU politician is in direct exchange with PTB President Cornelia Denz. A personal meeting is in preparation. The goal: more practical solutions for a business that cannot jump from form to form in everyday life.
Substantive Contacts
For Meinhardt, the example shows how important early political discussions are:
"Out of these questions and answers, networks arise that the industry needs."
This is not about classic lobbying, but a continuous exchange on topics that often run under the radar in political operations – but have a great impact in the everyday lives of drivers. The meeting in the Bundestag shows: The taxi industry is seeking cooperation with politics – and finds contact persons who offer more than platitudes. The challenges of the coming years are not getting any smaller. All the more important that the first steps are already being taken in the right direction.
