The VDV has existed in its present form since the beginning of 1991. The
history of the VDV began in 1846
As a sector association the VDV represents the interests of about
600 member companies active in the fields of
public passenger transport and rail freight transport.
Main performance of the VDV for its members:
Development of technical solutions, uniform rules and recommendations,
in cooperation with the transport industry and transport science
Advising and supporting parliaments, governments and other bodies at the
European, Federal, State and municipal levels
Exchange and cooperation between the members

Objectives and tasks
of the technical committees
Technical
Rules
— To describe technical and operational requirements and processes as well as to harmonise these
requirements with the supervisory authorities (formerly regulations)
— To realise national and international requirements
— To influence national and European technical regulation and standardisation
State of the
art
— To describe technical and operational requirements and processes in VDV Recommendations and to
adapt them continuously to the state of the art
— To realise national and international requirements
— To influence national and European technical regulation and standardisation
Tendering
Information
of VDV
members
— To generate competition via joint open requirements (VDV Recommendations)
— To harmonise the technical and operational requiremnts with the manufacturers

Work result and realisation of the work of the
Subcommittee on Defects
ƒ The Subcommittee on
ƒ
ƒ
Defects prepares information
about defects of buses of the
VDV member companies.
This information is collected,
summed up and passed on to
the vehicle manufacturers.
The reports on defects are
handed over to the bus
manufacturers (EvoBus, MAN
and Solaris) by “vehicle
godparents” six weeks before
the half-yearly meeting for
their opinion.

High degree of standardisation – in technical descriptions (e.g. VDV driver’s
workplace)
Demography – passengers get older, which requires variable passenger
compartments: prams, wheelchairs, bikes etc.
No barriers – boarding, ticketing
Higher quality: as regards punctuality (reliability of the technology),
information etc.
Cost effectiveness (TCO) – purchase price, maintenance, consumption etc.
Lower consumption (light weight construction, cogeneration of power and
heat, hybrid, electrical auxiliary equipment, increase in on-board power
supply to 48 V (reduction of losses and generators etc.))
Online diagnosis – can be integrated into the workshop administration
Coordination between operators and industry
Less noise

Multimodality
The power supply
infrastructure is used to
charge all kinds of electric
vehicles. AC and DC power is
available and allows charging
of electric buses, bikes, private
cars, taxis and utility vehicles.

Modern communication based on IP instead of IBIS
Until 10 GBit/s transfer instead of 0,0012 MBit/s
Rising possibilities - Multimedia and passenger TV or passenger WLAN
Passengers are always given real time information
Standardising of common interfaces - TRIAS
Connection with other systems and base for intermodal journeys
Moovel, Facebook and tourist information
PR route planning and navigation
Tariff information
Definition of TRIAS interfaces
(Travellers‘ Realtime Information and Advisory Standard)
