Launch of the fresh VAD branch association occurs in Münster
New Automobile Trade Association VAD Established in Germany
The Association of Automobile Dealers in Germany (VAD) has been established in Münster on September 18, marking a significant development in the country's automotive industry. The initiators of the VAD, Burkhard Weller, Helmut Peter, and Peter Schäfer, aim to ensure people find affordable, sustainable, and reliable cars.
The VAD is against any policy against the car and is advocating for sensible conditions for electromobility. With over 300,000 employees in the automotive trade, the VAD believes they have a deep understanding of the industry's problems and can be an important partner for politics.
The VAD starts in September, with car dealers aiming to have a stronger voice in the industry. Around 6,000 car dealerships in Germany sell approximately three million new cars and 6.5 million used cars annually. The VAD emphasizes the need for a great car, the car, to be confidently stood up for by entrepreneurs.
The automotive trade sector in Germany is one of the largest training sectors in the country, training over 60,000 young people, many of whom have a migrant background. The VAD is emphasizing its role in providing training for a large number of young people.
The VAD will provide direct representation for the automotive industry in Berlin and Brussels for the first time. The association is seeking members for its founding assembly and is calling on young people to continue to come to the automotive trade sector with enthusiasm.
The VAD seeks to be more involved in political decisions, particularly on company car regulations, electric vehicle quotas, and tax-funded premiums. However, the politicians collaborating with the new automobile trade association to influence these policies have not been specifically named in available sources.
The growing number of electric vehicles is being sold through the automotive retail sector in Germany, contributing to the sector's total turnover of around 128 billion euros. The VAD is positioning itself as a strong voice for the automotive industry, advocating for less burden and less bureaucracy.
The VAD is against any policy against the car and is advocating for sensible conditions for electromobility. The association believes that, as employers of around 300,000 people in the automotive trade, they have a deep understanding of the industry's problems and can be an important partner for politics. The VAD is starting in September, with car dealers aiming to have a stronger voice in the industry.
