PAST EAIVT EVENTS

By Marco Belfanti December 7, 2024
From 12-14 September 2024 we staged the first Forum Future since 2019. The event was held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and saw over 50 participants from almost 20 countries, networking, listening to presentations and engaging in quality discussions over one and a half days. The Forum Future is an important item in EAIVT's toolbox as it comes in a discussion-friendly setting, an ideal platform for the association board to share and explain current and future projects to the members present.

The E.A.I.V.T. Forum Future 2019 took place on 27 September in Oslo, Norway. As in previous years, about 50-60 E.A.I.V.T. members and guests came to this discussion forum to learn about market developments, discuss problems and ideas and exchange opinions. The first part of the meeting was a members-only meeting again, where we discussed association matters and looked at developments in individual markets. Accordingly, we heard input from various members established in different markets both inside and beyond Europe. The open meeting in the afternoon was dedicated to the topic of e-mobility and we heard expert presentations from TUEV Nord, the German technical service, Transport&Environment, a prominent European NGO promoting green transportation in the EU, as well as Norsk elbilforening, who represent Norwegian e-car owners and promote e-mobility in the country of this conference. Like in previous ForumFuture meetings the participants were eager to hear the presentations and afterwards engaged in lively discussions. We thank the presenters for their input and all members and guests present at the meeting for their participation.

EAIVT organized this meeting for dealers specializing in (mainly) US-imports. The port of Bremerhaven, which sees most of the US-imports entering the EU, and the neighbouring city of Bremen were chosen as a “natural” location for this meeting. The list of invitees featured – next to many US-car dealers – logistics and homologation experts, who explained the nature of their business to the participants during the workshop on day 1 of the meeting. Day 2 of the meeting was an all-day excursion to the port of Bremerhaven, where participants were greeted with a presentation by the Bremerhaven Logistics Group. After that the group went on to see the auto and container terminals. Inside this vast area of the port installations, there is also the PDI+Homologation centre of our member AutoGlobalTrade , who gave the group an overview of the work that they do in Bremerhaven. The afternoon was spent with a visit to the EHS Homologation Centre, who are located inside the free port from where they serve customers in the EU and beyond. Here the group was shown the practical homologation work involved when overseas cars are made “road-worthy” according to EU regulations. The day ended with a group dinner at the “Seute Deern” (a 1919-built 4-mast gaff schooner).
