German software provider 3264 PTV and global road transport organisation IRU continue their partnership with the launch of new services in Poland and Spain.

Road transport associations ZMPD in Poland and SETIR in Spain will now offer the first professional route planning services tailored to local conditions. Poland and Spain join the Czech Republic and Romania, which launched in May.

Based on the PTV Map&Guide product, the new services are fully tailored to local conditions and challenges and are being developed and promoted in cooperation with IRU member associations in each market. The two organisations believe a common route planning standard across Europe and beyond will bring huge benefits to the freight sector, for both operators and their clients, boosting cost transparency and helping make quotes comparable.
