IRU
IRU, acrónimo en inglés para la Unión Internacional de Transporte por Carretera, es una
organización mundial de transporte carretero que representa los intereses de los operadores de
camiones (así como los intereses de los operadores de autobuses, autocares y taxis) para el
movimiento de personas y mercancías por carretera.
La IRU participa activamente en la facilitación del comercio para el transporte por carretera
y busca armonizar, tanto como sea posible, toda la legislación que rige actualmente el transporte
carretero, a fin de garantizar la interoperabilidad, evitar la duplicación y la confusión innecesaria
que ocasiona costosos retrasos, infracciones a la ley y multas.
