Cross-Border Exchange on PTI and Driver Testing
A delegation of experts in vehicle inspection and driving licence testing from the regional government of Lower Austria visited TÜV SÜD in Munich on 23–24 May for a two-day exchange of experiences.
The visit aimed to explore differing national approaches within the framework of harmonised European guidelines. In the field of driving licence testing, discussions focused on test procedures, quality assurance, and the supervision of driving schools. Regarding vehicle inspections, the delegation examined practices related to conducting PTI and the assessment of vehicle modifications.
The exchange provided valuable insights into both systems, enabling participants to learn from each other’s approaches while also fostering stronger professional relationships.
The delegation was led by Georg Höning, Head of Technical Vehicle Affairs for Lower Austria, and Linda-Maria Wallner, Head of Driving Licence Tests, Driving Schools and Driving Licence Law. The meeting was hosted by Philip Puls, Head of Regulatory Business at TÜV SÜD Mobility, and Jochen Krebs, Head of Driver Licence Testing at TÜV SÜD Mobility.
