The objective of TRA 2008 is to forge new, productive partnerships across all transport sectors. The road transport industry is an innovative force in Europe and one of its largest R&D investors. Climate change, urban congestion, traffic safety and the increasing demand for people and freight transport require adequate and innovative solutions.

TRA 2008 will respond to this need, by gathering an expected 1.500 industry and research managers, senior researchers, engineers and scientists, as well as representatives of local, regional and national public authorities across Europe and around the world.
