The Purpose of The Institute of Road Transport Engineers
The purpose of the IRTE Industrial Membership Scheme is to develop a mutually beneficial relationship between the Institute and Southern African companies within the road transport industry which will further the achievements of the Institute's aims.
The IRTE's aims — spanning education and training, professional ethics, safety and the environmental — benefit society as a whole. While the Institute frequently comments on proposed legislation, for example, it does so from an engineering rather than a commercial perspective.
