IRU Mission The IRU upholds the interests of truck, bus, coach and taxi operators to ensure economic growth and prosperity via the sustainable mobility of people and goods by road worldwide.

Since 1949 the IRU is mandated to manage the TIR System

Road Transport: A challenging operating environment • Safety regulations • Operational and equipment

• Environmental regulations (sustainability) • Emissions, fuel standards, efficiency

• Security regulations • Operational, facility, information, personnel

•Reliability and resiliency expectations • Just-in-time, high-quality, cost-efficient, always available

• Human capital • Aging workforce, attracting new employees • “No border crossings” jobs advertised

•International regulations and standards • Lack of harmonization, multiple agency requirements

Inadequate processing at border crossings

"Lack of mutual recognition" Up to 57% of transport time = border crossings 38% of transport costs = unofficial levies
