IRU
The IRU, founded in Geneva on 23 March 1948, has local and global reach through its 180 members in 67 countries.
The IRU, through its national associations, represents the entire road transport industry world-wide. It speaks for the operators of coaches, taxis and trucks, from large transport fleets to driver-owners. In all international bodies that make decisions affecting road transport, the IRU acts as the industry's advocate. By working for the highest professional standards, the IRU improves the safety record and environmental performance of road transport and ensures the mobility of people and goods. Among its practical services to the industry, the IRU is international guarantor of the TIR carnet system under which trucks are sealed by customs upon departure and can cross several borders without further checks until they reach their destinations.
The IRU takes the initiative in making sure that vehicles are safe, clean, efficient, and economical in fuel consumption; encourages sound fleet management, strict vehicle maintenance and good working conditions for drivers; helps to make roads safer and less congested; maintains close working relationships with the competent national, inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations; works for harmonization and simplification of procedures affecting road transport;
