The European Transport Training Association (EuroTra) has been working together for over 20 years, with the aim of exchanging knowledge and best practice for drivers and managers working in the European transport and logistics industry.

Members

Our members represent institutions, academies, training centres and workers unions from right across the continent. The diverse range of our expertise allows us to get a complete understanding of the situation based upon training standards and practices in our industry. As a result, we can identify issues that affect workers in both the road haulage and passenger industries today, while uncovering the problems that they will likely face in future years.

Projects

In recent times we have worked together on a number of projects in conjunction with the Leonardo Agency of the European Commission. Our project activities have led to some interesting results, most notably with a project called Safe EU Driver. Our research resulted in the production of a comprehensive handbook that detailed the training content that would best be applied to initial and periodic training relating to the directive 2003/59. This information was based on the experience and knowledge of our members, and helped to define the categories that would ultimately be published within the Directive.

Our activities are not limited to project work and information exchange either. We have produced detailed statistics, created unique training tools and published theories on the training needs of our industry.

Aims

Our unique Association will continue to serve the interests of our members and ultimately our industry. Through membership growth and increased awareness and promotion, we aim to improve, refine and harmonise training practices so that our roads will become safer, our workers will increase their skills and our industry will continue to be the lifeblood of European industry.

I would like to extend a personal welcome to EuroTra and our website. Whether you are a new or existing member, an associated member or simply an interested individual I’m sure you will find something that holds your attention.
