Board delegations from 5495 ITS Germany and 5496 ITS Network Germany are at World Congress this week discussing a merger of the two associations. ITS Germany represents singular members of transport telematics companies, while the ITS Network acts as the umbrella organisation of regional and thematic associations.

As a visible sign of intentions, ITS Germany and ITS Network share a stand at World Congress in Vienna this week. Both parties have agreed that current developments in European transport, particularly the EU’s ITS directive, demand a new composition of the German associations. Talks will continue towards the goal of merging within the next few years.
