Irish National Professional Driver’s Championships 2025
The Irish National Professional Driver Championship (NPDC) is Ireland’s premier competition for professional drivers — bringing together van drivers, coach & bus drivers, and HGV drivers from across the country to compete, network, and showcase their skills.
Whether you drive a van for deliveries, operate a coach or bus on rural routes, or manage a 44-ton artic — this championship is for you.
The European Professional Drivers Association has a clear mission statement.
“To promote and support a professional driving culture.”
To achieve this aim the EPDA engages with all stakeholders to ensure that the objective it delivered and supported.
It is up to every individual to choose how they conduct themselves in relation to their position in work. The EPDA sets standards for professional drivers. It is for each individual driver to choose to be a commercial vehicle driver or choose to be a professional driver.
Assisting stakeholders understand the actual diversity and complexity of the role of today’s professional driver will benefit all of those involved in the transport industry. The importance of education and recognition for achievement can not be overstated. The EPDA places education as a key component in the development of the professional driver. Experience and competence in the role of the professional driver make a major contribution to operational efficiencies, cost-effective operation, a reduction in Co2 emissions and a safer road network.
The Association is funded through membership fees, sponsorship and donations
The Executive Committee meet 10 times per year with sub committees meeting in line with their project commitments
