Federico Solfrini is Manager in the EU Goods Transport team at the Permanent Delegation of the International Road Transport Union (IRU) to the EU (Brussels). IRU is the world road transport organisation representing 3.5 million companies worldwide, including one million in the European Union.
He leads on several strategic dossiers and technical files relevant for commercial road transport, including the implementation of the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), including on initiatives aiming at the broader rollout of alternative fuels infrastructure across the EU. As IRU’s designated representative in the European Commission’s Sustainable Transport Forum (STF), he serves as the main contact point in the sub-group on Heavy-Duty Vehicles, contributing with expert insights to the EU’s policymaking process on decarbonising freight transport.
With several years of experience in EU public policy, Federico has worked at the intersection of transport, energy, and climate policy. In his previous role at ICF, he managed high-profile projects for DG MOVE, DG ENER, and DG CLIMA, contributing to the Fit for 55 package and the EU Green Deal. He also held roles at the European Commission’s DG MOVE and DG HOME, and at the European Council on Foreign Relations (Rome), focusing on critical infrastructure, innovation, and energy policy.
He holds a PhD in International Relations from the University of St Andrews, and two master’s degrees from LUISS Guido Carli University in Rome, one with a focus on economics and energy policies of the Arab countries and another in Political Science and International Relations.
