We need the EU’s Fit-for-55 to support us, not penalise us.” UMBERTO DE PRETTO IRU Secretary General     Road transport risk in EU’s Fit-for-55 proposals IRU has cautiously welcomed some parts of the European Commission’s Fit-for-55 proposals. However, energy tax and emissions trading together risk an unbalanced double-dip hit to road transport costs for EU citizens and business.     Industry leaders debate decarbonisation plan Leading industry CEOs, regulators and international organisations kicked off IRU’s Green Compact with an online debate on delivering decarbonisation across the commercial road transport sector globally.     TIR digitalisation gains ground  The customs authorities of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have officially opened Green Lanes for digital TIR transits, making border crossings for TIR transport using digital guarantees even faster.     Improving connectivity in Asia Secretary General Umberto de Pretto highlighted the importance of global standards, best practices and digital transport documents to improve connectivity in Central and South Asia. A summit in Uzbekistan echoed the call, with Pakistan PM Imran Kahn citing the importance of TIR.     Netlog to boost driver skills with RoadMasters  Netlog, a major Turkish logistics provider with operations in Europe, the Middle East and North America, has chosen the IRU RoadMasters platform to improve driver talent management.       IRU Member stories UPS: On the road with Eco-trucks  The UPS commercial vehicle fleet travels almost five billion kilometres annually.
