TMV wants to bury Kleine Fachkunde
The "Little Expertise" was originally intended to replace the mandatory local knowledge test with the amendment of the Passenger Transport Act (PBefG) and to ensure the quality of driver training. The TMV had already presented concrete proposals for the content design at the beginning of 2021. Since then, according to the TMV, little has happened.
"All of this is just annoying! We've all invested a lot of time and dedication to establish a Little Expertise, as the industry would have needed, well ahead of the entry into force of the Passenger Transport Act amendment four years ago. What hasn't happened and has been delayed since then is beyond explanation to any entrepreneur," said TMV President Thomas Kroker. "We're all training ourselves now. And before we waste even more pointless time on meetings, discussions, votes, and consultations, this whole bureaucratic effort should be stopped, and the Little Expertise should be buried."
The TMV particularly criticizes the lengthy examination phases and the multiple changes of concepts. An initially planned online exam was discarded after a long delay, to instead reconsider in-person exams. These developments have significantly strained the trust of the industry, according to the association.
Urgent Driver Shortage and Pragmatic Solutions
The delay has forced the industry to act independently. In many regions, such as Munich, pragmatic solutions have been found: driving licenses are now granted without exams or additional requirements for up to five years. The TMV emphasizes that the industry ensures quality independently through internal training and exams.
At the same time, the ongoing driver shortage exacerbates the situation. A "re-examination" of the driving licenses issued in the last 42 months is neither logistically feasible nor justifiable given the personnel shortage.
Demand for Clarity and Conclusion
The TMV is now calling on Transport Minister Wissing to quickly and definitively end the "Small Expertise" project. According to the association's assessment, implementing the project is neither practical nor purposeful.
The industry, instead, expects clear communication and political decisions that support the urgently needed recruitment of personnel. Driver shortages remain one of the biggest challenges for the sector, which is at risk of losing its competitiveness without sustainable solutions.
"Now is the time to pull the emergency brake. In our intensive conversation with Federal Transport Minister Dr. Volker Wissing shortly before Christmas, we agreed to communicate the stance of the Taxi and Rental Car Association of Germany to him at the beginning of the year," explains TMV Managing Director Patrick Meinhardt. "This is clear: End the Small Expertise project as quickly as possible. One thing is also clear: The Conference of Transport Ministers of the 16 federal states has delayed, postponed, deferred, and shown no serious interest in implementing the Small Expertise. The TMV submitted the first proposals in January 2021. And after four years, we are still discussing: This is Absurdistan at its purest!"
