The right mix of incentives and investment to accelerate low and eventually net zero carbon alternatives to meet 2030 and 2050 targets can only be achieved if CO₂ is accounted for correctly.” UMBERTO DE PRETTO IRU Secretary General     Flawed CO₂ emissions policy jeopardises commercial transport decarbonisation Measuring CO₂ emissions from commercial road transport only at the tailpipe, depending on the region, could double the true carbon picture in future fuel scenarios.     TIR opens new faster route from Russia to UAE A new intermodal TIR route from Russia to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is set to boost trade, with at least a 50% reduction in transport times and 15% reduction in costs, compared to the traditional routes.     TIR continues to drive value in the GCC With TIR usage growing in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, transport operators are increasingly seeing the benefits of the reduced transport times and lower costs that the system brings.     Data and people management: we want to hear from you Transport businesses all make use of data for route planning, cargo optimisation and driver monitoring.
