The International Road Union (IRU) continues its efforts to formalise and professionalise Togo's road transport industry. With the backing of the World Bank, it has been supporting an in-depth reform of road transport in Togo, leading a project that will continue until 2022.
In 2020, IRU helped with the establishment of a national federation representing the entire Togolese road transport sector, the Faitière Patronale Togolaise des Transporteurs Routiers (FP2TR).
FP2TR has already achieved a reduction of 90% in a newly imposed vehicle tax and a 50%cut in planned road toll increases for commercial vehicles.
The next phase of the project will focus on setting up and implementing a training and qualification framework to ensure greater safety and operational efficiency, IRU said. (ben)
