IRTE Supplier’s Forum

21 June 2012

The aim of this forum is to give both manufacturers and suppliers in the transport industry an opportunity to keep their counterparts, customers and suppliers abreast of their latest and/or proposed products, activities, technologies and innovations

The IRTE is a professional sector of the Society of Operational Engineers. The SOE was formed on 1 September 2000 by the merger of two well-known professional bodies. The Institute of Road Transport Engineers (IRTE) and The Institute of Plant Engineers (IPlantE).

The IRTE has, over the years, developed strong links with many companies in the road transport and motor vehicle industries. These links have been forged through events such as the involvement of the IRTE at truck shows, conferences and seminars, the employment of IRTE members in senior engineering positions, training, joint technical investigations, giving lectures at IRTE centres, and social events such as Dinner-Dances, Golf days and other centre activities.

During 2000 the South African centres established the Committee of Centre Chairman to consolidate the activities of the three centres in order to create a single national body. It is the intention to improve the credibility and effectiveness of the IRTE in Southern Africa through its involvement in automotive technical issues, liaison with Local, Provincial and National government on road traffic, and the education and training of technologically competent personnel for the road transport industry.

The IRTE Mission Statement

The purpose of the IRTE is to promote safe, environmentally friendly sustainable operations engineering to the benefit of society.

Our Vision

To be the preferred professional body for those engaged in the life-cycle management of systems, facilities, vehicles and equipment, and to be the recognized authority on these matters.
