OREANDA-NEWS. IRU General Assembly today awarded the IRU “Top Road Transport Manager” to 69 managers from 15 countries for their best-in-class leadership and managerial achievements in promoting safe, secure, environmentally-friendly and efficient road transport.

IRU created this prestigious award to honour top managers of road transport companies, including bus, coach, taxi and truck, for their excellence and professionalism in providing innovative solutions to enhance environmental protection, road safety and productivity. But it takes more than a person’s ability to improve a company’s growth to qualify as an award nominee.

Indeed, managers must hold the appropriate CPC Manager Diploma and should actively promote vocational training for themselves and their staff, such as the training programmes of the IRU Academy’s Accredited Training Institutes, to ensure that the road transport industry and its employees are in tune with the latest legislative and operational developments impacting the sector.

The Top Road Transport Manager award confirms the wide professional experience and outstanding achievements of all nominees. It celebrates the success stories of exemplary managers who deserve international recognition for their high level of know-how and work to raise the profile and strengthen the efficiency of the road transport industry.

The winners of this year’s award come from: Argentina (3), Belarus (3), Denmark (1), Estonia (5), FYROM (10), Germany (2), Iran (12), Kazakhstan (4), Mexico (8), Morocco (9), Romania (2), Russia (5), Slovakia (3), Spain (1) and Ukraine (1).
