A new strategic partnership between global road transport organisation IRU and German software developer 3264 PTV Group will develop new standards and services for logistics route planning across Europe and beyond.

The partnership has begun with new services for freight operators in the Czech Republic and Romania, in cooperation with IRU member associations Cesmad Bohemia and UNTRR. The services will be rolled out in markets in Europe and elsewhere, developing a consistent route planning standard, with comparable operational, cost calculation and billing elements, for transport operators, shippers and logistics planners.

Based on PTV’s route planning software product Map&Guide, the new services are fully tailored to local conditions and challenges and will be developed and globally promoted in cooperation with IRU members in each region.

According to Zeljko Jeftic, IRU’s head of Global Innovation, a common route planning standard will bring huge benefits to the sector, for both operators and their clients.
