Road transport related industries provide employment to more than 14 Million people in Europe and directly contribute by 11% to the European Gross National Product.
Maximizing investments will be needed in the future to cope with new challenges: ageing infrastructure, higher traffic demand, decarbonisation and inclusion of new technologies.
To ensure the continued mobility of people and transport of goods across Europe, it is essential to preserve and upgrade Europe’s road infrastructure developing new techniques and operation systems adapted to latest trends.
The ERF works to achieve this goal by, first, to raise the level of understanding of the fundamental role the road plays for the society as a whole and, second, to gather expertise and best practices from the sector providing an industry response to market needs in combination with institutional expectations.
