IRU has been working tirelessly to help the road transport industry navigate through the COVID-19 crisis, in cooperation with numerous regional and international stakeholders and partners.

Passenger road transport is the backbone of the global economy. It contributes to the success of numerous sectors, but not limited to, the tourism industry and is essential to business and leisure travel. But as the COVID-19 pandemic containment measures are forcing millions of people to stay at home, passenger transport operations have been condemned to a de facto lockdown, unlike any other in the industry’s history.

IRU has urged the President of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, to intervene in the recent treatment of truck drivers at the Turkish borders.

国际道路运输联盟（IRU）与成员、合作伙伴密切协作，建立了新冠肺炎疫情信息中心（COVID-19 Info Hub），面向全球商业道路运输行业实时收集、提供第一手最新信息。
