How We Are Organised

There are more than 50 member organisations in ERTRAC representing all sectors of the road transport industry, non-governmental organisations, Member States, and the European Commission.

The ERTRAC Plenary

The ERTRAC Plenary consists of all these members. They meet three to four times a year. It is this group that ensures that the Vision for 2020 and the Strategic Research Agenda cover the broad range of research issues related to road transport and validates the final documents.

The Steering Group

The Steering Group is a high-level management group charged with organising all ERTRAC Plenary meetings, documents, and other organisational issues. They are responsible for proposing actions and responding to the requests of the ERTRAC Plenary.

Research Areas

The Research Areas consist of experts responsible for the creation and co-ordination of the draft documents of the Strategic Research Agenda and Recommendations. In order to accomplish this mission, Workshops with invited technical experts from all sectors of road transport are organised. The following four Working Areas have been defined:

• Environment, Energy & Resources
• Safety & Security
• Transport, Mobility & Infrastructure
• Design & Production Systems
