AGV Move

What AGV Move does

AGV Move (Arbeitgeberverband Mobilitäts- und Verkehrsdienstleister) is a German registered employers' association (eingetragener Verein, e.V.) representing the interests of companies in the mobility and transport services sector. Established in June 2002 as a spin-out from Deutsche Bahn AG, the association is headquartered in Berlin with a secondary office in Frankfurt and serves more than 50 member companies operating across the German mobility landscape.

The association's core service portfolio centers on four functions: Tarifpolitik (collective bargaining policy), Arbeitsrecht (labor law advisory), Interessenvertretung (political and industry interest representation), and Wirtschaftspolitik (economic policy advocacy). AGV Move holds formal representational rights in federal and state-level tariff commissions, enabling it to negotiate collective agreements on behalf of its member employers. Its activities are institutional rather than product-based: there is no proprietary technology platform, software offering, or data product. Member support is delivered through expert advisory on labor and employment law, regulatory monitoring, and direct engagement with policymakers and trade unions.

AGV Move's business model is a nonprofit membership dues structure, with member companies paying recurring contributions in exchange for representational services, labor-law counsel, and participation in collective-bargaining outcomes. The organization is institutionally integrated into Germany's broader employer and industry association ecosystem, holding memberships in BDA (German Employers' Federation), BDI (Federation of German Industries), VDV (German Transport Operators' Association), and UITP (International Association of Public Transport), with additional ties to regional employers' associations. Leadership comprises Martin Seiler as Chairman and Stephan Wißmann as Chief Executive Officer, supported by a staff of 11 to 50 employees.

Core offering

AGV MOVE is a nonprofit employers' association and economic federation that negotiates collective bargaining agreements for mobility and transport service providers, provides legal counsel and representation in labor, social, and tariff law, and advocates member interests at federal, state, and EU levels. Services are delivered as a membership package through legal staff, training programs, and participation in industry bodies such as BDA, BDI, VDV, and UITP.

Product overview

AGV MOVE is not a product company but rather an employers' association and economic federation for mobility and transport service providers, railway infrastructure companies, and related enterprises. The organization offers a portfolio of advisory and representational services organized around four core areas: collective bargaining policy (Tarifpolitik), labor law consultation (Arbeitsrecht), interest representation (Interessenvertretung), and economic policy advocacy (Wirtschaftspolitik). These services are delivered through legal counsel, training programs, and institutional representation rather than a software platform or product architecture.

Regional players

• Unternehmensverbände Berlin-Brandenburg (UVB): Regional employer association covering Berlin-Brandenburg. AGV MOVE is a member of UVB; functionally similar at a regional level and useful as a peer for understanding geographic layers of German employer representation.
• Vereinigung der hessischen Unternehmerverbände (VHU): Regional employer association covering Hesse, where AGV MOVE maintains a Frankfurt office. Comparable as a state-level employer association with similar collective bargaining and advocacy functions.

Broad incumbents

• Bundesvereinigung der Deutschen Arbeitgeberverbände (BDA): The umbrella confederation of German employer associations, of which AGV MOVE is a member. Operates at a national level across all sectors; provides context for the federated structure AGV MOVE operates within.
• Gesamtverband der Deutschen Land- und Ernährungswirtschaft: A German sectoral employers' and industry federation analogous in structure to AGV MOVE but operating in the agri-food sector, useful for understanding cross-sector patterns in German employer association models.
• Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie (BDI): The German industry federation representing broad industrial interests. AGV MOVE participates in BDI's presidium and committees, and BDI is the most relevant federation-level peer for the economic policy function AGV MOVE provides to its members.

Direct peers

• Verband deutscher Verkehrsunternehmen (VDV): The primary German public transport industry association. While VDV is broader and operator-focused (rather than employer-focused), it is the closest peer in the same vertical and the association in which AGV MOVE holds committee seats.
• Arbeitgeberverband der Versicherungswirtschaft in Deutschland: Sectoral German employers' association for the insurance industry. Mirrors AGV MOVE's structure as a single-sector Arbeitgeberverband providing labor law advisory, collective bargaining, and policy advocacy to its members.

Emerging players

• Union Internationale des Transports Publics (UITP): International association of public transport. AGV MOVE holds membership in UITP; useful as an international peer for cross-border advocacy, although UITP's mission is broader and not specifically employer-focused.
