Figures/Milestones

Sodena’s participation in TÜV Rheinland Navarra, S.A. was a key factor in our ability to undertake the business of the technical inspection of vehicles and set up a second TIV station in Navarra.

As a result, the region not only saw the network of this obligatory public service extended as a result of the concession system, through the agreement between Sodena and TÜV Rheinland, the territorial scope of the concession areas was also increased.

As a partner in TÜV Rheinland Navarra, Sodena always supported our efforts to improve. Our collaboration lasted until 1998, when Sodena decided to sell its stake in TÜV Rheinland Navarra.
