Cologne. The German vehicle registration authorities are threatened with new trouble. The exemption that the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) granted to almost 100 offices will end in mid-April because they have not yet met the minimum safety requirements during the introduction of i-Kfz Level 4.

Cologne/Großburgwedel. After the cooperation with the Association of the North Rhine-Westphalian Motor Vehicle Trade, PremiumZulasser eG (PZeG) will also be a partner of the Lower Saxony-Bremen motor vehicle trade from April. The regional association and the Cologne cooperative announced this today. “Digitalization is progressing rapidly in the approval system. The implementation of i-Kfz Level 4 presents our companies with enormous challenges. “It is extremely helpful to have a recognized approval professional with proven IT expertise at our side,” says association president Karl-Heinz Bley.

Cologne. According to its own information, PremiumZulasser eG (PZeG) further expanded its position as the number one registration service provider on the German market last year.

Cologne. First, cyber attacks paralyze many regulatory authorities. Then they stumble over inadequacies in the introduction of the digital vehicle registration i-Kfz. And now this too: At the turn of the year, the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) is expected to block online access to 284 of 415 nationwide registration offices because their systems do not meet the minimum security standards.

Premium admitter survey: Most registration offices cannot yet deliver i-Kfz level 4 Cologne. It snags on every corner and edge. Register digitally, get in and drive off – this is how the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport imagined the brave new world of registration in Germany from September 1st. But the reality looks different. […]

The Association of the Motor Vehicle Trade NRW e.V. will cooperate with the Cologne cooperative PremiumZulasser eG (PZeG) in the future. Both organizations announced this today. The aim of the collaboration is to give the 6,600 vehicle companies of the North Rhine-Westphalian vehicle guilds access to the PZeG approval software premium-zulasser.online and to draw attention to other services offered by the Cologne cooperative members.

According to the PremiumZulasser cooperative (PZeG), a network of 55 local and regional registration service providers, the introduction of i-Kfz Level 4 on September 1st has caused significant uncertainty in the market. Many companies are questioning whether they can handle digital vehicle registration personnel and financially, says the Cologne-based cooperative. Smaller registration businesses, in particular, are concerned about their existence.

“This will allow us to provide the 55 registration service providers who are currently members of our cooperative and the approximately 5,000 car dealerships that currently use our software with a secure and cost-effective access to i-Kfz Level 4 by September,” promises PZeG CEO Florian Cichon.

Industry associations are enthusiastic about digital vehicle registration, which will be possible from September 1st. But before the automotive trade and other major customers can use i-Kfz, they will still have to clear quite a few hurdles.

As part of its networking strategy, Premiumzulasser eG. networked their approval software with the Prof4Net tools CATCH and TOCA. The German Toyota dealers work with TOCA.

More and more users are working with the registration software of the premium registration company. The tool also offers the automotive trade secure and inexpensive access to x-Kfz.

On September 1st, Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) intends to launch the fourth stage of the digital approval tool i-Kfz. Then large customers such as manufacturers, importers, dealers or online marketers should also be able to use the portal to register customer vehicles, re-register them or put them out of service.

The PremiumZulasser eG and its 55 member companies across Germany are expecting a significant increase in the number of new registrations of battery-powered cars and plug-in hybrids in the remaining weeks of the current year.

For the first time, vehicle handover protocols can be displayed online via tablet or smartphone. “This is another important step on the way to the digitalization of the car trade,” says Heinz Sobieralski from the Speed ​​Registration Service.

Many e-car owners still give away a few hundred euros a year. After all, not everyone is familiar with the so-called GHG quota. Car dealers can now apply for the bonus for their customers with one click – provided they work with the widely used online registration tool from PremiumZulasser eG.

The Premiumzulasser eG strengthens its nationwide presence. Just two years after entering the market, 40 local and regional registration service providers have joined together to form a nationwide association under the umbrella of the Cologne cooperative.

On the way to becoming the “first digital car dealership in Europe”, the Berlin car dealership group Gerhard König GmbH is strengthening its cooperation with the Leipzig registration service provider Speed ​​GmbH.
