Expert committees

Members are specifically involved in the expert committee subgroups and formats. The breadth and depth of their tasks and objectives vary. Only full members are able to get involved here and all content and outcomes are confidential.

The offers reflect the latest hot topics in the industry – from the implications of the sustainability reporting obligation and vehicle type-specific issues to the shortage of skilled labour or customs issues.

Networks are both a source and an offer of information on the respective topics and cover it in great breadth and depth – with decisive facts, references and details on the current normative and legal framework conditions and developments. In addition, they provide regular updates on the work of the topic-specific working groups.
