Driving decarbonisation through road user charging – will it work?

The European Road Transport Conference, IRU’s leading event in the EU, brings the European law makers and influencers together with road transport business representatives in a constructive dialogue on the future of our sector.
Supported by the Romanian Presidency of the EU Council, this year’s conference will focus on the urgent need for EU road transport to decarbonise and the best ways to do it.
