Sixt and TÜV SÜD found joint venture to provide vehicle registration services

Sixt, Germany's market leader in car rentals and one of Europe's leading mobility service providers, has joined forces with TÜV SÜD in establishing a new kind of vehicle registration service. The two companies have founded the joint venture TÜV SÜD Car Registration & Services GmbH for this purpose.

The services offered by the new company span all aspects of official vehicle registration. They are initially directed at corporate clients and will be extended to include private customers at a later date. The range of services provided by CRS will include handling of all document processing with the competent registration authorities, production of vehicle registration plates, reservation of registration numbers and customs permits. Large-scale fleet operators will find the new one-stop full services particularly useful to optimize their fleet management while sustainably reducing transport costs. Sixt will likewise make use of the services for its own fleets. Sixt and TÜV SÜD each hold 50% of shares in TÜV SÜD Car Registration & Services GmbH (CRS), which is based in Munich. The managing directors of the new company are Sebastian Birkel from Sixt and Oliver Frey from TÜV SÜD.

Sebastian Birkel, CRS Managing Director (Sixt), comments, "As one of the largest fleet operators, we are thoroughly familiar with all the requirements that must be in place to ensure smooth, cost-effective vehicle registration. Now we and our prestigious partner TÜV SÜD can share our experience with our customers. In addition, the joint venture CRS consistently furthers our strategy of entering promising new fields of operation that match Sixt's core business areas."

Oliver Frey, CRS Managing Director (TÜV SÜD), states, "Given TÜV SÜD's experience with registration services for car dealerships and Sixt's status as one of the largest fleet operators, we complement each other perfectly and are ideal partners for playing a leading role in the market of registration services for major customers. The foundation of the new company is another important building block in TÜV SÜD's strategy to present itself as a one-stop provider of all services from A to Z for fleet operators on the market."
