“Increasing road safety and transport efficiency
through improved professional competence”
Moscow, 20 March 2015
Patrick Philipp, Head - IRU Academy
Every job depends on road transport
2
Every item is carried by road at a certain point
3
EC recognises the key role of road transport as a
catalyst to trade
Road transport is part of the lifeblood of the European
economy and single market. It delivers goods across
Europe fast, efficiently, flexibly and cheaply.
Road transport is a vital economic sector in its own
right, employing about 5 million people across the EU
and generating close to 2% of its GDP.
Road transport is a tool for reviving growth through
the enhancement of competitiveness and the creation
of jobs.

State of Play
• Road Transport accounts for nearly 75% of all delivered
goods in the EU and 70% in the United States
• Transport of passengers and goods by road will remain
100% dependent on the services of skilled and motivated
drivers
• Commercial road transport undertakings around the
world have suffered persistently from shortages of skilled
drivers; most acutely during periods of economic growth
and low unemployment
5
Necessary conditions to allow road transport
to drive trade, hence economic development
1. Good infrastructure
2. Harmonised legislative frameworks to
facilitate trade and international road
transport
3. Service excellence

Road Safety – Specific Strategy
The IRU supports all measures that
improve road safety
if
they effectively target the main causes
of accidents involving professional
vehicles

Focus on Priorities – Road Safety – Main Cause:
The Human Factor
Investigation of 624 accidents showed the main cause
of the accident is the human error
