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.
