International Road Transport Union (IRU)
IRU is the world road transport organisation, the voice of more than 3.5 million mobility and logistics operators worldwide through a member network of national transport associations, industry bodies and multinational companies. Advancing safe, efficient and green commercial road transport, IRU brings together businesses, partnering with those who regulate, supply and use our industry.
Trucks, buses, coaches and taxis are the lifeblood of sustainable development, delivering economic prosperity and social inclusion everywhere. Commercial road transport is flexible, robust and resilient by nature, moving people or goods across a continent or around the corner, acting as the “glue” that links all modes of transport together, and providing first and last mile connectivity.
IRU works in a wide range of areas including advocacy, facilitation, training, certification and technical assistance to reinforce the resilience of mobility networks and supply chains, enabling economies and societies to better manage change.
