The International Forum on Road Transport Technology (IFRTT) is a community of over1000 experts worldwide, representing leading universities and researchinstitutes in vehicle engineering, and forward-looking companies and government institutions. IFRTT aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience between experts involved in the development of commercial vehicles and road freight transport.
Since1986, the IFRTT organizes every two years the symposium on Heavy Vehicle Transport Technology (HVTT). The symposium on HVTT offers a worldwide platform for researchers, policy makers, regulators, road agencies, commercial vehicle manufacturers and suppliers and the transport industry, to exchange knowledge and experiences in order to support the development of safe, sustainable, efficient and productive road freight transport.
