About The Freight Transport Association Ireland (FTA Ireland)

The Freight Transport Association Ireland (FTA Ireland) is a multimodal representative trade association for the freight, distribution, Passenger and logistics sector. We support, shape and stand up for efficient and sustainable logistics. FTA Ireland have been doing a lot of work in the space of environmental management within commercial fleet operators over the last 10 years. The FTA Ireland TruckSafe™ and VanSafe™ standards focus on how commercial fleet operators are managing their fuel burn. It audits operational compliance in the areas of road safety, haulage operations, roadworthiness, working time and environmental efficiencies. The FTA Ireland Alternative Fuels working group expands upon the objectives of the association to support our members through expert advice and guidance that supports strategic planning and decision making. The working group has over the years supported the FTA Ireland policy position on alternative technologies and aided our engagement with key stakeholders to understand the issues for the logistics sector in transitioning to alternative fuels but most importantly to develop collaborative relationships that endeavour to deliver clear roadmaps to net zero that takes account of the complexities of transition whilst supporting the sustainability of businesses within the freight distribution and logistics sector.
