GVN - Lower Saxony Transport Association

The umbrella association of the transport industry in Lower Saxony (GVN) has brought together industry representatives in Bad Nenndorf. The technical program included tax issues, wage structuring, and dealing with work-related pressure.

The introduction of new requirements for taximeters and trip meters is drawing closer. At the Lower Saxony Taxi and Rental Car Day in Bad Nenndorf, the BVTM made clear that it deems amendments necessary in the planned cash-register law. The central question is whether the same rules should apply to all modes of transport.

Up to 20 percent of companies in Lower Saxony could, according to the association, lose their economic base. The delayed tariff adjustments are a problem, as operating costs are rising.

Following talks in Hanover, the cooperation is to restart at the beginning of the year. The focus is on joint positions on the political, economic, and structural challenges facing the industry.

(dpa/lni) Higher wage and operating costs are leading to new tariffs in many places. While some municipalities have already adjusted tariffs, elsewhere further price increases are on the horizon.

At the Ernst August Brewpub in Hanover, it smelled of currywurst, beer and transport policy. About 300 guests had come to the Parliamentary Currywurst Evening of the General Association of the Transport Industry in Lower Saxony (GVN).

The Gesamtverband Verkehrsgewerbe Niedersachsen (GVN) e.V. professional association for taxis and rental cars invites its members to the Taxi and Rental Car Day on March 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

In light of "record sick leave" in Germany, Allianz CEO Oliver Bäte advocates for the reintroduction of the waiting day for sick notes. This would mean that employees would bear the costs for the first day of illness themselves, he told Handelsblatt. Economist Raffelhüschen demands in "Bild" that there be no wages for three days in case of illness.
