Road transport, shippers and energy groups in Europe have called for carbon neutral fuels to be recognised as a long-term decarbonisation solution, alongside electrification and hydrogen, for a well-functioning and stable EU logistics sector.

The International Road Transport Union (IRU) has taken the lead in setting the global road transport agenda, by publishing a manifesto that calls on international organisations, governments and industry stakeholders to safeguard the role of road transport in driving economic prosperity.

Automation technologies and their potential to transform the road freight transport business were explored in a session jointly organised by the International Road Transport (IRU) and Volvo at the European Conference on Connected and Automated Driving (EUCAD 2019), the flagship event on automation in the EU.
