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.

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.
