Thrilled to share that the proposal received unanimous approval from the council of transport ministers! This milestone sets us on an exciting journey towards implementing safer, more sustainable transport practices across the region. Looking forward to the work ahead as we drive meaningful changes! #RoadSafety #SustainableTransport #ArabLeague #ADR

𝗜𝗥𝗨 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 To better understand and report on the issues and opportunities facing road transport operators worldwide on the road to #NetZero, we need to collect and analyse data from the ground. To this end, we have launched a Global Green Compact Survey to measure the current actions taken by our sector to #decarbonise. The survey – available in 21 languages – takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Share and complete the survey ➡️ https://go.iru.org/PU

Umberto de Pretto said, “This commitment to resilience is what led to the creation of the #IRUCharter75, which reinforces our dedication to rescue and rebuild communities and make mobility networks and supply chains stronger against future shocks. “But there is work to be done. “The key to further raising the resilience of road transport requires us to tackle #drivershortages, #decarbonisation and #digitalisation.” Read more ➡️ https://go.iru.org/PT #RoadTransport | Confcommercio-Imprese per l’Italia

𝟰,𝟬𝟬𝟬𝗸𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟱 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 The IRU-accredited Zhengzhou TIR Logistics Hub, the third of its kind, has now added a new route to #Kazakhstan to its catalogue of destinations. The truck set off after completing its export customs declaration and TIR procedures at the hub, before exiting China through the Khorgos border and arriving in Almaty. The entire 4,000km journey took only five days. The route from the hub saves 30% in costs compared with air and 50% in time compared with rail. TIR logistics hubs consolidate all necessary transit services under one roof: customs clearance, warehousing, cargo handling, route development, and transport-capacity matching.

‘𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗽, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻’ The American Trucking Associations’ advanced seasonally adjusted For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index fell by 2.1% in September, after rising 1.7% in August. In September, the index equalled 113.2 (2015=100), compared with 115.6 in August. ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello said, “After increasing a total of 2.1% in July and August, tonnage fell by that amount in September.” “Freight has been very choppy this year, but despite the latest drop, tonnage is up 1.8% since hitting a low in January. No doubt, the climb up has been slow and difficult as manufacturing activity remains flat, but the trend is up, not down,” he added.
