TMV discusses the future of the trade - register now for Think Tank 2026
On June 25 and 26, the Aufseesianum Education Center in Bamberg is to become the think tank of the industry. It concerns control software for the return-to-base obligation, for special agreements in the patient transport sector, for inadequate remuneration, and for the question of how the industry can assert itself against platform companies. The TMV describes the format as “controversial, focused, creative.” In fact, the association is trying to break up traditional association conferences. Fewer opening remarks, more workshop character. Less retrospective, more problem-solving.
Donth delivers the opening remarks
The kickoff is likely to have political signaling effects. For the opening remarks, the CDU transport policy politician Michael Donth has been announced. Donth has for years been among those transport policy lawmakers in the Bundestag who deal intensively with the law on passenger transport.
Content-wise, the first day of the event focuses heavily on the industry's ongoing regulatory dispute. Particularly in focus is the return-to-base obligation for rental cars. The TMV presents, with “RouteProof” and “driveAnalytics”, new verification software that is intended to document violations in a traceable way. For many entrepreneurs, the lack of enforcement of the return-to-base obligation has for years been one of the central problems in competing with platform intermediaries.
Data analyses and platform evaluations
In addition, there is software for so-called hearing offices. The system “team.getcloser” is intended to assist authorities and inspection offices in proceedings. Here too, a development is evident that is increasingly shaping the trade: the regulatory conflict is being digitized. Data analyses, platform evaluations, and software-assisted controls are gaining importance.
In addition, the TMV looks abroad. Under the heading “Unified Trade Austria – transferable to Germany?” there will be a discussion about whether the Austrian model of more tightly regulated passenger transport could be applied to German conditions. As a keynote speaker, Christian Holzhauser, Managing Director of Taxi 40100 Wien, has been invited. In Austria, for years there have been more uniform rules for taxi and hire-car traffic than in Germany.
A legal assessment will also be provided by Thomas Grätz, who has long been regarded in the industry as a specialist in passenger transport law. Given the numerous court proceedings surrounding platform operators, his talk is likely to attract interest.
The second day of the event then focuses on a sector that is economically increasingly important for many businesses: patient transport and transport under the Social Code. There, for years the pressure on remuneration and contractual terms has been growing.
Hesse Hotspot
The situation is particularly tense at the moment in Hesse. Under the title "Hesse Hotspot", Jens Marggraf is to report on the current state of the disputes with the DAK. Many companies have long complained that special agreements and tender models undermine the profitability of non-emergency patient transport.
Another area of conflict is transport services in non-emergency patient transport. Here the boundaries between traditional taxi companies, specialized transport services and new mobility providers are increasingly blurring. Accordingly, there is considerable concern among many entrepreneurs that quality standards and fair compensation will come under pressure. With projects such as "Smart Move" by the GVN or digital solutions for discharge management in hospitals, the TMV also shows that the industry is increasingly relying on networking and platform solutions. The announced "Unified Transport Services Initiative" also aims in this direction: better organization, united representation of interests and the demand for "fair remuneration for safe care".
That the association explicitly does not regard the think tank as a mere officials' event is also evident in the comparatively open structure. Between the presentations there should be room for discussions. It will also include a city tour, an evening event and a deliberately modest participation fee of 89 euros including catering.
Registration now open
Thus the TMV clearly aims to be more than just an advocacy group in day-to-day business. In an industry that seeks orientation amid digitalization, regulation and cost pressures, Bamberg should for two days become a kind of workbench for the future of the trade. Registration on the TMV Website.
