A new China-Kazakhstan TIR route has opened, following last month’s China-Central Asia Summit where heads of state agreed to deepen trade and transport cooperation.

Schengen visas, digitalisation, decarbonisation and the TIR system topped the agenda today as IRU’s Secretary General and the President of IRU member the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) reviewed road transport facilitation challenges and opportunities.

Multimodal logistics company NLC has delivered goods from Pakistan to Central Asian countries via Afghanistan in record time.

The “3 Ds” facing our industry – driver shortages, decarbonisation and digitalisation – top this year’s agenda for IRU and the American Trucking Associations (ATA).
