Fred Teeven, chairman of Royal Dutch Transport (KNV), sounds the alarm in the morning broadcast of WNL and points out two core problems: a dire staff shortage and the complicated tendering rules that are stifling the sector.

Fred Teeven has taken on the role of chairman at Royal Dutch Transport (KNV) on 1 December 2024. The former State Secretary for Security and Justice takes over from Bertho Eckhardt, who recently announced his resignation.

One of the concrete points that KNV chairman Fred Teeven wants to tackle is the reopening of bus lanes for coaches.

During the members' meeting at the De Salentein estate in Nijkerk, Bertho Eckhardt handed over the gavel of Royal Dutch Transport (KNV) to his successor Fred Teeven after an impressive term of eleven years.

Fred Teeven, the former State Secretary for Security and Justice, has been officially nominated by the boards of the associations KNV Zorgvervoer & Taxi and Busvervoer Nederland as the new chairman of Royal Dutch Transport (KNV).

KNV Zorgvervoer en Taxi has officially requested State Secretary Jansen (Public Transport and Environment) to start a pilot for the Central Taxi Transport Database (CDT) as of January 1, 2025.

Royal Dutch Transport (KNV), the federation of business associations in passenger transport, is looking for a policy advisor for target group transport.

His successor, Fred Teeven, a former state secretary and bus driver, will have to fill the big shoes of Bertho Eckhardt. Eckhardt himself looks back on his time at KNV with satisfaction, but indicates that it is now time for a new challenge.

The boards of KNV Zorgtransport & Taxi and Bus Transport Netherlands have decided to nominate Fred Teeven as chairman of both associations, as well as as chairman of KNV.

Although the webinar was a success and provided participants with valuable insights into the future of digital inspections in the taxi industry, there are also concerns in the taxi sector, especially in the entry-level market.

Rijkswaterstaat's intention to impose a ban on trucks and buses over the bridge on the A29 near Purmerend with effect from Monday, April 7, has led to dissatisfaction among bus operators.

The mission of KNV Connected Mobility is aimed at promoting the common interests of various mobility providers.

With more than a million passengers per week, transported by 27.000 employees and 8.000 self-employed people, the taxi sector plays an indispensable role in Dutch social and economic life.

The overall conclusion is that the Wp2000 functions largely effectively, but there is room for improvement, especially given the changes in the market structure.

Eckhardt spoke out in favor of KNV Connected Mobility, an initiative that was launched four years ago with the Maas-Lab.

The annual meeting of the Royal Dutch Carriers (KNV) in The Hague, a time when members and guests gather to ring in the new year, was enriched this year with the presence of Alderman Melanie van der Horst of Amsterdam.

Melanie van der Horst, the Amsterdam councilor for Traffic, Transport and Air Quality, Public Space and Greenery, has been selected as the guest speaker for the upcoming KNV New Year's reception in The Hague.

There is a clear need for a more proactive and solution-oriented approach from the trade organization KNV and making student transport less complex.

An important aspect of this practical test is the registration of working and rest times by taxi drivers.

If KNV really wants to play a role in this transition, it will have to do more than just launch a new platform. It will have to develop a vision that does justice to the complexity and versatility of the mobility issue.

At the same time, the expectations of parents and students are increasing. This creates a tension as current contracts with healthcare transporters are often not tailored to these expectations.
