Make sure you are part of the conversation. More than just networking…
The mission of the Industry Technical Council (ITC) is to improve trucking equipment, its maintenance and maintenance management.
ITC meetings facilitate the exchange information and ideas amongst members – and with other elements of the industry including vehicle designers, manufacturers, equipment suppliers and maintenance specialists.
Members come from every level within the road transport industry – suppliers, transport consultants, operations and workshop managers and road transport company owners.
The ITC is represented on key ATA and government committees central to the technical agenda. Participation in these forums ensures that all relevant information on technical issues impacting on your business is heard.
