(Technischer Überwachungs Verein) Un organisme du gouvernement fédéral allemand. une sorte de combinaison de DOT et EPA, ainsi que responsable de l'inspection des voitures tous les quelques années. Ils vérifient très soigneusement les fonctionnalités de sécurité de la voiture (freins, rouille de la carrosserie, direction). Les voitures plus anciennes échouent souvent, elles partent donc pour l'Europe de l'Est, tandis que l'Allemagne ne garde que des voitures nickel. Certaines personnes pensent qu'il y a une collusion avec les fabricants de voitures pour augmenter le renouvellement.
