LTV - State Association of the Transportation Industry Thuringia

At the LTV's annual meeting, in addition to numerous industry representatives and well-known exhibitors, high-ranking politicians also attended. Thuringia's Minister of Transport Steffen Schütz, the Parliamentary State Secretary Christian Hirte, and BVTM President Gregor Beiner also delivered opening remarks.

At its 36th annual general meeting in Weimar-Legefeld, the Thuringia state association of the transport industry (LTV) e.V. unanimously adopted a resolution that takes a harsher tone than in previous years. The industry describes its situation as tense — economically as well as politically — and puts forward clear demands to the federal government and the states.

The managing director of the Thuringian state association of the transport industry (LTV), Martin Kammer, has addressed taxi and rental-car operators in an open letter. His message is clear: Cooperation with capital-oriented platforms would jeopardize the economic independence of the businesses in the long term.

The Saxony-Anhalt state parliament has tasked the state government with examining the causes and consequences of an impending supply shortage in taxi traffic. Within eight weeks, a report should be submitted (Drucksache 8/6562). Only three FDP MPs abstained.

It was not merely a celebration of existence, but also a warning to politics: At their 35th annual general meeting in Erfurt, the Thuringian transport and logistics industry made their voices heard clearly.
