Câmara Internacional da Indústria de Transportes - CIT

What Câmara Internacional da Indústria de Transportes - CIT does

Câmara Internacional de Logística e Transportes (CIT) is a non-profit civil association of private law founded on May 25, 2002, by initiative of the Brazilian National Transport Confederation (CNT), which remains its parent sponsor and underwrites international operations. Headquartered in Brasília (SAUS Qd. 01, bloco J, Ed. Clésio Andrade, torre A, sala 702), CIT operates a federation of 25+ country chapters spanning more than 40 member countries across the Americas, EMEA, APAC, and Africa. The organization held its 42nd Ordinary General Assembly in Manaus, Brazil in May 2026 and was renamed from "Câmara Interamericana de Transportes" in 2025 to reflect an expanded global mandate, with a Portuguese-, Spanish-, and English-language presence and a 12-employee General Secretariat. CIT holds formal observer status at the Organization of American States (since 2009) and UNCTAD/United Nations (since 2011), positioning it as one of the few hemisphere-wide bodies with standing in both organizations.

CIT's product portfolio centers on professional education and industry publication. Core programs include GETRAM (a postgraduate in strategic management, logistics and transport delivered with Brazilian institutions), CYMIC and CYLOG 4.0 (post-baccalaureate certifications delivered with George Washington University in Washington D.C.), CISMEM (delivered with the University of Miami since 2003), and the International Leadership Expedition (delivered with IÉSEG School of Management in Paris at La Défense). Content products include the RTI Magazine published in three languages, the nine-volume Transporte book series, the five-issue Interamericas Magazine (2007-2011), and the Transporte Internacional podcast distributed on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Anchor and Breaker. The CQCIT quality certification, the GETRAM postgraduate track, and the digital "Camino de Gestión / Trilhas de Gestão" learning tracks developed in partnership with SEST SENAT (extending across 60+ countries) round out the portfolio.

CIT's business model is a community-led, event-driven association. Revenue is generated via three membership tiers — Observer Members (government bodies), Associated Members (universities, companies, industry associations), and Affiliated Members (transport carriers with voting rights through Chapter Presidents) — together with registration and program fees attached to certification courses (USD $150 registration plus USD $3,980 paid to the partner university, or €5,490 all-inclusive for the Paris expedition) and event-related income tied to the annual Ordinary General Assembly. Distribution is executed through 25+ locally elected Chapter Presidents, Regional Directors across five geographic regions, and embedded university and multilateral partners (OAS, UNCTAD, ALADI, GFCC). Marketing is conducted through the tri-lingual website, the podcast, in-person assemblies, and partner-amplified courses, with no consumer-facing product distribution model.
