Working Groups

ECR EGTC has several specialised working groups, each focusing on a critical area of road transport safety and enforcement. These groups drive the core work of the organisation by tackling specific technical and regulatory challenges, supporting harmonisation, and enabling knowledge sharing, cooperation, and innovation among member states.

The current working groups include: 

ADR (Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) 

This group is responsible for ensuring the safe and compliant transportation of dangerous goods across member countries. It focuses on establishing and harmonising standards for the handling, packaging, and inspection of hazardous materials in transit. 

TWG (Tachowebgroup) 

The Tachowebgroup concentrates on inspections of the technical aspects of tachograph data, a key tool for monitoring driving times, speeds, and other important metrics in commercial road transport. This group works alongside the Network of European Traffic Police Forces (ROADPOL). 

TECHCA (Technical Inspection & Cargo Securing) 

The TECHCA working group focuses on the roadside inspection of commercial vehicles, with a particular emphasis on ensuring the secure loading and securing of cargo, as well as the technical compliance of vehicles. This group is responsible for developing and harmonising inspection protocols across member states, aiming to improve road safety by ensuring that vehicles are well-maintained and that cargo is properly secured to prevent accidents and ensure regulatory compliance. 

DRT (Driving and Resting Times, Social Regulations, and Cabotage) 

The DRT working group focuses on monitoring and enforcing regulations related to driving and resting times for commercial drivers. By standardising the enforcement of these regulations, this group aims to prevent driver fatigue, reduce accident risks, and ensure safer conditions for both drivers and the public. 

Data Exchange 

The Data Exchange working group is currently a dormant group, which focuses on the development of secure, standardised systems for cross-border data sharing. Although currently inactive, the group is in a configuration phase to assess and define key objectives, protocols, and resources needed to support efficient information exchange between member countries. Once reactivated, this working group aims to enhance cooperation and data accuracy in road transport enforcement across Europe.
