A few days after his untimely death, after a long illness, by Maurizio Longo, the national assembly of Trasportiunita proceeded to assign the post of Secretary-General of the association to Giulio Stoppa, lawyer, one of the founders of the First hour of the road haulage union and historical figure of the association together with the president Franco Pensiero. "To take on the responsibility of Secretary General today of Trasporto Unito - said Stoppa - represents for me a great honour and, at the same time, an even greater responsibility major. Maurizio was a fundamental part of the history of this association and our commitment to protecting of road transport. I thank the assembly for its trust and I am aware that the work that awaits us will have to be up to the history of Trasportiunita and the challenges that the sector puts us in front of us".

In a note, the association specified that the appointment of Stoppa represents a choice of continuity and at the same time the start of a new phase, in the name of values and objectives that have accompanied its path, but also of the confirmation of the that have allowed the association to grow and to establish itself, with Longo, as a reality characterized by strong autonomy and independence.
