Togo's new road transport association


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)
