MKFE Budapest

The ATRH was established in 1965. Before then the Hungarian Autoklub represented Hungary at the IRU. In the 60''s only a few companies were allowed to transport goods abroad by road. At that time the employees of the Association could never dream of long queues waiting for TIR Carnets. The explosion took place simultaneously with the changing of the country''s political and economic system in 1990. Many new enterprises were established whose owners wanted to base their future on international road transport. Although in the end the authorities limited the number of licences which can be issued. The Association has presently nearly 2000 members and this is only the number of the enterprises involved and they employ far more people. At the ATRH two different departments were formed to assume the safeguarding of the interests of international and domestic hauliers in 1987. In the ATRH''s history a prominent event was the IRU World Congress, which took place in Budapest in 1968 and 1996. In this year the most significant event was the IRU Service Commission meeting.
