Guild roadshow - great success, 800 participants
It was in 2012 when the Federal Vehicle Technology Guild received a call from a member company. He asked for support with a fine of 24,000 euros because the mandatory logbooks for a total of six test drive license plates were incorrectly filled out. The member was helped through negotiations with the authorities and the fine was reduced to 4,000 euros. Not much later, inquiries about penalties in connection with the test drive license plate increased. This is how a single concern emerged into a collective industry interest. The federal guild saw this development as a mandate and developed a comprehensive offer for member companies in order to avoid future penalties. The first steps have been taken with a new commentary on the handling of test drive license plates, a digital offer to avoid errors and process optimization in the recording obligations. An Austria-wide roadshow started in mid-January under the motto “Test drive license plate – already paid for this year?”
Over 800 member companies took the opportunity to follow the legal principles, practical examples and, above all, recommendations for action from Andreas Westermeyer (Federal Guild), who has developed a reputation as an expert over the past few years. “We have to be directly with the members in order to recognize their needs,” emphasizes Westermeyer, “only in this way can we develop concrete offers for specific needs.” Westermeyer's two-hour lecture not only encouraged participation, but was anything but boring with a twinkle in the eye or a humorous laugh.
Westermeyer really enjoys talking to his guests about specific things. Not only to help and advise, but also to learn something new every day. "This is probably the best example of how the new mission statement of the Federal Guild works," emphasizes Federal Guild Master Josef Harb: "We were able to offer support to a member's concern. Several concerns have become an order for us. Now we have developed offers for professional further training. But this is only possible if the members tell us where there is a problem."
"A special thank you goes to the supporters of the roadshow. DAT Austria, Garanta Austria, automotive.services and the automotive industry accompanied the federal guild's roadshow and presented their digital products to interested members in order to start the future in a process-efficient and cost-oriented manner," said Westermeyer and Harb.
