Transport & Logistics

The EU rules affecting transport and logistics are fragmented across fifteen regimes: Data Act, eFTI, EMSWe, NIS2, CBAM, CSRD, ETS2, FuelEU and more. Here they are in one place — not scattered checks but the complete picture, interpreted for what they mean for your organisation, every claim traceable to its primary source.

The files

• Securing AI in critical infrastructure: where the AI Act, Cyber Resilience Act and NIS2 meetA single AI system in a port often falls under three frameworks at once: the AI Act (Art. 15) secures the AI system itself, the Cyber Resilience Act the product, and NIS2 obliges the operator as an essential entity. This piece explains how they meet and who is responsible for what.
• NIS2: the guide to cybersecurity and management dutiesNIS2 makes cybersecurity a board-level responsibility for essential and important entities — including transport and logistics. This guide brings together who is in scope, which measures and reporting duties apply, management liability, and supply-chain obligations.
• The Batteries Regulation: what does it mean for my electric fleet?Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 sets rules for the whole battery lifecycle: carbon footprint, recycled content, recycling and due diligence. From 2027 a battery passport applies to EV batteries. What that means when you electrify.
• Does my ISO 27001 certification cover the NIS2 duty of care?ISO 27001 covers much of the NIS2 risk-management measures, but is not automatic compliance. Incident reporting, management accountability, supply-chain risk and registration must be addressed separately.
• The Radio Equipment Directive: cybersecurity requirements for wireless devicesSince 1 August 2025 the RED imposes mandatory cybersecurity requirements on wireless, internet-connected devices. If you place connected hardware on the market, you must protect the network, personal data and payments.
• Green Claims Directive: may I still call my transport "green" or "carbon-neutral"?For now, yes, but the EU proposal COM(2023) 166 would require environmental claims like "green" or "carbon-neutral" to be substantiated and verified up front. It is a proposal, not law yet. Start substantiating your claims measurably now.
• The Trust and Check trader: the successor to AEO in the customs reformTrust and Check is a proposed new class of trusted traders that give customs real-time access to their systems. It builds on AEO but is not yet in force — a phased roll-out runs towards 2032-2038.
• eIDAS trust services: timestamps, registered delivery and archivingBeyond signatures, eIDAS covers timestamps, electronic registered delivery, website certificates and (under 2.0) archiving. Qualified services appear on the EU trust list and carry stronger legal effects.
• Must I store my data locally? The free flow of non-personal dataNo, a government may in principle not require you to store your non-personal data in a specific member state. Regulation (EU) 2018/1807 prohibits unjustified data localisation requirements within the EU.
• AEO status: what does Authorised Economic Operator offer and what are the requirements?AEO status marks you as a trusted trader with customs. You get fewer checks, priority treatment and easier access to simplifications. The requirements: a compliance record, sound records, solvency and competence.
• IOSS: how does VAT work for imported e-commerce parcels?The IOSS lets you collect VAT at the point of sale for imported parcels worth up to 150 euro. You file one monthly return, and the parcel clears customs faster without import VAT. Without IOSS, the customer pays VAT on delivery.
• The Data Act and trade secrets: must I share data that is my trade secret?Not a free pass to refuse. The Data Act gives users a right to data from connected products, but protects trade secrets: you may take safeguards and, in exceptional cases, refuse where serious harm is shown.
• The EU Digital Identity Wallet: when is it available and what can I do with it?eIDAS 2.0 requires every member state to offer an EU Digital Identity Wallet; the rollout runs toward end-2026 and is phased, not yet live everywhere. You use it to log in, prove age and qualifications, and sign documents.
• European data spaces: what are they and should I take part?European data spaces are sectoral agreement frameworks for voluntary, trusted data sharing — not a central database. The mobility data space is the relevant one for transport. Taking part is voluntary and gives access to more and better supply-chain data.
• The Data Act: what compensation may I charge for sharing data (FRAND)?If the Data Act obliges you to share data, you may charge a reasonable fee based on your costs of making the data available, plus a reasonable margin. For SMEs and non-profits: only the direct costs. Terms must be fair and non-discriminatory (FRAND).
• The Mobility Package: driving and rest times, cabotage and postingThe EU Mobility Package (2020) bundles three pillars for road transport: stricter driving and rest times plus driver return, market access with a cabotage cooling-off period and vehicle return, and posting rules with remuneration for international drivers.
• Qualified e-signatures and seals: legally valid for transport documents?Under eIDAS a qualified electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten one. For transport documents such as the eCMR it secures signing, origin and integrity across the EU.
• The Dutch Cybersecurity Act: how NIS2 becomes law in the NetherlandsThe Cybersecurity Act transposes NIS2 into Dutch law: a duty of care, a reporting duty and management liability. The bill is still pending and is expected to enter into force later than the EU deadline.
• Combined transport: which EU rules and benefits apply?Combined transport (Directive 92/106/EEC) is intermodal transport where the main leg runs by rail, inland waterway or sea and only the initial and final legs by road. The road leg is exempt from cabotage and licensing restrictions.
• Weights and dimensions: what may my truck weigh and measure?Directive 96/53/EC sets the limits: usually 40 tonnes (44 tonnes intermodal) and standard lengths. The proposed revision (COM(2023) 445) would allow more for zero-emission and EMS, but is not yet in force.
• The digital driving licence: what does the revised directive change?The EU is revising its driving licence directive to add a digital licence on your phone alongside the physical one. A provisional political agreement (2024-2025) still needs formal adoption and transposition.
• Euro 7: what does the new emission standard change for road transport?Euro 7 (Regulation (EU) 2024/1257) succeeds Euro 6/VI and sets limits on exhaust and non-exhaust emissions (brake and tyre wear) plus battery durability. Application dates differ per vehicle category.
• CountEmissions EU: how must I calculate CO2 from transport services?CountEmissions EU is a Commission proposal (COM(2023) 441) for a harmonised method to calculate CO2 from transport, based on ISO 14083. Not yet adopted. Voluntary, unless you publish emissions data.
• NCTS phase 5: what changes for customs transit?NCTS phase 5 renews the EU customs transit system: declarations are aligned with the Union Customs Code (UCC), with new data requirements and the registration of en route events. Deployment was set for 2 December 2024.
• Cybersecurity in seaports: NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience ActSeaports fall under NIS2 (Directive (EU) 2022/2555): risk-management measures, management accountability and incident reporting. The Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) sets security requirements for digital products in port chains.
• EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR): what it means for logistics and importThe EUDR (Regulation (EU) 2023/1115) bans placing seven commodities on the EU market — cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy and wood — if they come from deforested land. It applies to large operators from 30 December 2026.
• DORA or NIS2: which one applies to my (logistics) organisation?A logistics organisation generally falls under NIS2 (transport is an essential sector), not DORA. DORA applies to financial entities. If you are both, DORA takes precedence as lex specialis.
• NIS2: must I register my organisation, and how?Often yes: Member States must set up a registration mechanism, and certain entities (such as DNS, cloud and data-centre providers) register directly. The how and with which authority is set by national law. Here is how to approach it.
• Data Governance Act: what it means for data sharing in logisticsThe Data Governance Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/868) builds trusted frameworks for data sharing: recognised data intermediaries, re-use of public-sector data and data altruism. For logistics it lowers the threshold to share supply-chain data safely.
• The EU customs reform: EU Customs Authority and Data Hub (towards 2028)In 2023 the Commission proposed the largest customs reform since the customs union: an EU Customs Authority and a central EU Customs Data Hub. The proposal is still in the legislative process; the first Data Hub functions are envisaged towards 2028.
• Data Act and leased vehicles: who is the "user" of the data?Under the Data Act, the user is whoever owns, rents or leases the connected product. For a leased vehicle this is typically the lessee who actually uses the vehicle, not the leasing company.
• AI vision systems for cargo recognition and surveillance: which rules?Camera-based cargo recognition is usually allowed if AI literacy and privacy rules are met. Facial or emotion recognition and biometric identification fall into the prohibited or high-risk categories of the AI Act.
• AI for dynamic freight pricing: what does the AI Act say?AI that sets freight prices dynamically is not as such on the AI Act's high-risk list. AI literacy and transparency duties do apply, and the classification can shift where there are effects on individuals.
• AI for predictive maintenance in transport: which AI Act rules?Predictive-maintenance AI predicts servicing from sensor data and is usually not high-risk under the AI Act — it does not decide about people. AI literacy (Art. 4) still applies; as a safety component of a regulated vehicle it can be high-risk.
• Customs digitalisation: what changes for carriers?The EU is digitalising customs processes through the Union Customs Code, ICS2 for advance security data and eFTI for electronic freight information. Carriers face digital declarations, data exchange and phased obligations.
• Cold-chain (reefer) transport: which EU rules and data affect you?Two EU regimes affect reefer transport: the F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573 restricts the refrigerants in your units, and the Data Act (EU) 2023/2854 gives you access to the telematics and sensor data those units generate.
• ICS2: the EU import-security rules for carriers, briefly explainedICS2 is the EU system for advance cargo safety and security data before goods enter the Union. Carriers and other parties file the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) in advance so customs can assess risk before arrival.
• AI for demand forecasting and planning: does it fall under the AI Act?AI for demand forecasting falls under the AI Act, but is usually not a high-risk system. If the same planning drives decisions about staff, Annex III may apply. Function and impact are decisive.
• Does my route-optimisation AI fall under the AI Act?An AI that purely optimises routes or trips is usually not a high-risk system under the AI Act. If the same AI also drives task allocation or workers' performance, it does fall under Annex III. AI literacy already applies now.
• AI in recruitment for logistics: is it high-risk under the AI Act?Yes. AI systems used in logistics for recruiting and selecting staff fall under Annex III of the AI Act and count as high-risk. The heaviest duties apply in phases; AI literacy already applies now.
• NIS2: cybersecurity becomes a board responsibility in transportTransport is an essential sector under NIS2 (Directive (EU) 2022/2555). Medium and large entities must take risk-management measures, report incidents quickly and place cybersecurity at board level. NL: the Cyberbeveiligingswet (NIS2) takes effect 1 July 2026.
• Does NIS2 apply to my transport or logistics company?Transport is an essential sector under NIS2, so the question is mainly your size. Medium and large companies (from ~50 employees) are generally in scope; micro and small usually are not. National transposition sets the details. Here's how to check.
• Is eFTI mandatory for me as a carrier?eFTI does not force you to go digital, but it requires authorities to accept electronic freight information from 9 July 2027. Paper is still allowed, but digital-first becomes the norm. What that means in practice for carriers, forwarders and shippers.
• Data Act and cloud switching: can I switch cloud providers more easily?Yes. The Data Act (Regulation (EU) 2023/2854), applicable since 12 September 2025, makes switching between cloud and data-processing services easier through mandatory switching support and a ban on unfair contract terms.
• eIDAS and eCMR: how are they connected?eIDAS 2.0 provides the trust layer beneath digital freight documents: with the EU Digital Identity Wallet, qualified e-signatures and verifiable credentials, an eCMR can be reliably signed and verified across borders.
• Does my telematics hardware fall under the Cyber Resilience Act?Yes. Telematics, trackers and IoT devices are products with digital elements and fall under the Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847). Full application applies from 11 December 2027.
• May I monitor my drivers with AI?Partly. Emotion recognition in the workplace is banned under the AI Act. AI for scheduling, planning or recruitment is high-risk with strict duties. Other monitoring is allowed if AI literacy and privacy rules are met.
• AI literacy: what must I arrange under the AI Act?Since 2 Feb 2025, anyone deploying AI must ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy (Art. 4 AI Act). In transport and logistics this means giving staff who work with AI systems enough knowledge and understanding of their use and risks.
• Should I join the European mobility data space?Participation is voluntary, not a legal duty like the Data Act or eFTI. Even so, joining early is strategic: it shapes your future data position and interoperability within the transport and logistics sector.
• EMSWe or port community system: what is the difference?EMSWe is the legal European framework for reporting formalities around a port call through a single national single window. A port community system is a local, commercial port platform — not a statutory single window.
• What do I risk for non-compliance with the Data Act?The Data Act applies since 12 Sep 2025. Non-compliance risks civil claims, contract terms that are not binding, and GDPR enforcement where personal data is involved. From 12 Sep 2026 the design obligation applies.
• ETS2: what must I arrange in my contracts?ETS2 prices road-transport fuel upstream at suppliers; costs feed into the pump price. In contracts, arrange a pass-through/indexation clause, fuel-consumption data sharing and renegotiation points ahead of the 2028 start.
• What must I report via the Maritime Single Window?You report all reporting formalities around a port call via the national single window (MNSW). Thanks to the once-only principle you submit the same data only once. EMSWe has applied since 15 August 2025.
• Who is the data holder and who is the user under the Data Act?The user is the owner, renter or lessee of a connected product; the data holder is the party that has access to the data from that product and the related service. What this distinction means for transport and logistics.
• CSRD chain requests: what if I don't have to report myself?After the 2026 Omnibus, almost all transport and logistics firms fall outside the direct CSRD duty, yet large clients, banks and insurers still request ESG and CO2 data through the supply chain.
• On-shore power at berth: when and for whom mandatory?FuelEU Maritime requires ships above 5,000 GT calling at EU ports to use on-shore power (OPS) or zero-emission technology at berth. The regulation has applied since 1 January 2025, regardless of flag.
• CBAM: does the 50-tonne exemption apply to me?The CBAM exemption applies if you import less than 50 tonnes of CBAM goods (iron/steel, aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen) per year. Above that you need declarant status and must buy CBAM certificates.
• Which smart tachograph deadline applies to my truck?The deadline depends on your current device: analogue/first-generation digital had to be retrofitted by end 2024 (learning phase until 28 Feb 2025), ST1 to ST2 by 18 Aug 2025, and vans of 2.5-3.5 tonnes in international transport from 1 July 2026.
• Does my ship fall under FuelEU Maritime?FuelEU Maritime (Regulation (EU) 2023/1805) has applied since 1 January 2025 to ships above 5,000 GT calling at EU ports, regardless of flag. What matters is the tonnage and the EU port call, not the ship's nationality.
• Does the tachograph duty apply to my van (2.5–3.5 t)?Yes, but only from 1 July 2026 and only for vans of 2.5 to 3.5 tonnes used for international transport. The required device is the second-generation smart tachograph (ST2) under the Mobility Package.
• What is the common eFTI data set?The common eFTI data set is the EU-standardised collection of data fields for statutory freight information, detailed through implementing acts. It lets authorities accept electronic freight data uniformly from 9 July 2027.
• Is my planning algorithm high-risk under the AI Act?Software that drives rosters, trip planning or recruitment falls under Annex III of the AI Act and counts as high-risk. The heaviest duties apply from 2 Dec 2027; AI literacy already applies now.
• Which goods fall under CBAM?CBAM applies to imports of iron/steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen. Importers below 50 tonnes per year are exempt under the Omnibus de-minimis rule.
• How do I become an authorised CBAM declarant?Importers of CBAM goods have needed authorised CBAM declarant status since 1 January 2026. The application was due by 31 March 2026; you then buy certificates and file an annual declaration.
• Cyber Resilience Act: which deadline applies when?The CRA (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) entered into force on 12 November 2024. Key dates: notification of conformity bodies 11 June 2026, reporting obligation 11 September 2026, full application 11 December 2027.
• Data Act vs GDPR: what if my data contains personal data?If your connected product's data contains personal data, the Data Act and the GDPR apply side by side. The Data Act governs access and sharing; the GDPR governs the lawful basis and protection of personal data.
• What does the second-generation smart tachograph record?The second-generation smart tachograph (ST2) records driving and rest times plus, new under the Mobility Package, automatic border crossings and loading/unloading events via satellite positioning.
• What is the EU Digital Identity Wallet for businesses?The EU Digital Identity Wallet is a government-recognised digital wallet under eIDAS 2.0 (Regulation (EU) 2024/1183). Member States must offer it to businesses by end 2026. It enables cross-border identification, e-signatures and verifiable credentials.
• Cyber Resilience Act: what must I require from my suppliers?Require suppliers of trackers, telematics and IoT to provide proof of CE marking, conformity assessment, secure-by-default configuration and update guarantees. Fix reporting duties and liability in your contracts before full application on 11 December 2027.
• Which EU deadlines are coming in 2027 for transport and logistics?In 2027 three EU deadlines apply to transport and logistics: the eFTI acceptance duty (9 July), the AI Act high-risk Annex III obligations (2 December) and the Cyber Resilience Act (11 December). ETS2 follows in 2028.
• Does my warehouse robot fall under the AI Act and the Machinery Regulation?Yes, often both. An AI-driven warehouse robot can be a safety component under the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 and fall under the AI Act. Moreover, AI literacy (art. 4) applies to everyone who deploys AI.
• PPWR: what must I do about reusable transport packaging?Under the PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40), transport packaging faces new rules: from 12 Aug 2026 e-commerce parcels may hold max 40% empty space, void space drops to 50% from 2030, plus reuse targets. It applies directly, with no national transposition.
• eFTI and dangerous goods (ADR): what changes?Under eFTI (Regulation (EU) 2020/1056), ADR freight information is also covered. From 9 July 2027, authorities must accept it electronically via certified platforms. Paper remains allowed. What this means for transporting dangerous goods.
• EMSWe once-only: what does it mean for ship agents?For ship agents, once-only means you submit the same data around a port call only once, via the national single window (MNSW). EMSWe has applied since 15 August 2025.
• When does the PPWR apply and what should I do now?The PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) entered into force on 11 February 2025 and applies from 12 August 2026. From then, empty space in e-commerce parcels is capped at 40%; void space in transport packaging must stay below 50% from 2030.
• Does my import fall under CBAM?CBAM covers imports of iron/steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen. Above 50 tonnes a year you need declarant status; below that you are exempt.
• When does ETS2 actually start?ETS2 has been postponed to 2028 (originally 2027). Monitoring and reporting are already running. The system prices road-transport and building fuels upstream at the fuel supplier.
• Does my telematics and vehicle data fall under the Data Act?Yes. Data generated by your trucks, on-board units and sensors falls under the Data Act's connected-product rules. As a user you have a right of access — and can have that data shared with a third party. What that means for your fleet.
• How much more expensive will diesel become due to ETS2?From 2028 ETS2 prices road-transport fuel upstream at suppliers, who pass the cost on at the pump. The exact rise per litre is not fixed and depends on the market price per tonne of CO2.
• FuelEU Maritime or EU ETS for shipping: what is the difference?FuelEU Maritime steers the fuel — a falling greenhouse gas intensity (well-to-wake) from 2% in 2025 to 80% in 2050. The EU ETS for shipping instead prices emissions (tank-to-wake CO2) via allowances. Two separate regimes that complement each other.
• Does my transport company still report under CSRD after the Omnibus?Probably not directly. The Omnibus narrowed the CSRD scope by about 90%: only EU companies with >5,000 employees and >EUR 1.5bn turnover are still in scope. Even so, large clients, banks and insurers often still request ESG data through the supply chain.
• What is the 40% rule for e-commerce parcels (PPWR)?The PPWR 40% rule (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) limits the empty space in an e-commerce parcel to a maximum of 40% from 12 August 2026. As a regulation it applies directly, without national transposition.
• Which documents fall under eFTI?eFTI covers the legally required freight information that travels with a shipment: the consignment note, dangerous-goods data (ADR), waste-shipment documents and permits. Authorities must accept these electronically from 9 July 2027.
• Data Act, eFTI or both: what affects my data flows?Short: these are two different data flows. The Data Act covers data from connected products (vehicle, sensor, machine data); eFTI covers submitting statutory freight documents to authorities electronically. Both can apply to you at once.
• NIS2: which measures must I take as a minimum?NIS2 requires appropriate risk-management measures — from risk analysis, backups and supply-chain security to access control, training and encryption — plus board accountability. A practical checklist for transport and logistics.
• NIS2: what exactly does the 24/72-hour reporting duty involve?For a significant incident, NIS2 sets tight deadlines: an early warning within 24 hours, a formal notification within 72 hours and a final report within a month — to the national authority/CSIRT. What counts as significant, and how to set yourself up for it.
• eFTI vs eCMR: what is the difference?In short: the eCMR is one digital document (the electronic consignment note); eFTI is the broader EU framework for all statutory freight information that authorities must accept electronically. They complement each other. What that distinction means for your digitisation plan.
• What is a certified eFTI platform and do I need one?eFTI data must be exchanged via certified platforms and service providers. If you want to benefit from the authorities' acceptance duty, you submit electronic freight information through such a platform. What certification means and how to choose.
• Data Act: must I share data with third parties, and how?At the user's request, the data holder must make data available to a third party of choice — in a common, machine-readable format and on fair (FRAND) terms. What that means and how to set yourself up for it in transport and logistics.
• Data Act: which contract terms must I review?The Data Act bans unfair data clauses and requires fair (FRAND) sharing terms. Review your data, supply, lease and platform contracts for terms that unilaterally block or overprice access or transfer. A practical checklist for transport and logistics.
• PPWR: the packaging regulation reshapes your logisticsThe Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Regulation (EU) 2025/40) applies from 12 August 2026: stricter packaging requirements, a cap on empty space in e-commerce parcels (max 40%) and reuse targets for transport packaging. What that means for logistics and fulfilment.
• CBAM: the carbon border levy hits imports and chain logisticsSince 1 January 2026 the definitive CBAM regime (Regulation (EU) 2023/956) applies: importers of steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers and more must become an 'authorised CBAM declarant' and buy certificates for embedded CO₂. What that means for import and chain logistics.
• eIDAS 2.0 & the EU Digital Identity Wallet: digital identity for the chaineIDAS 2.0 (Regulation (EU) 2024/1183) requires Member States to offer an EU Digital Identity Wallet to citizens and businesses by the end of 2026; large platforms must accept it from late 2027. What that means for digital freight documents and B2B trust.
• CSRD after the Omnibus: who in transport still has to report?The Omnibus (published February 2026) cuts the CSRD scope by around 90%: only EU companies with more than 5,000 employees and more than €1.5bn turnover remain in scope. 'Stop the clock' delayed deadlines by two years. What that means for transport and logistics.
• ETS2: carbon pricing is coming to road transport fuelETS2 brings carbon pricing to fuels for road transport and buildings — fuel suppliers must surrender allowances. It starts in 2028 (delayed from 2027), with monitoring already under way. This feeds through into the diesel price, and therefore into freight rates.
• Smart tachograph 2 & the Mobility Package: the deadlines for road transportThe Mobility Package (Regulation (EU) 2020/1054) requires trucks in international transport to fit the second-generation smart tachograph. Older vehicles had to switch by end 2024; ST1 follows on 18 August 2025, vans 2.5–3.5 t from July 2026. The deadlines at a glance.
• Transport & Logistics: the EU deadlines at a glanceData Act, eFTI, EMSWe, AI Act, NIS2, CRA and FuelEU Maritime — the EU deadlines affecting transport and logistics, in chronological order with a link to each file. From what already applies to what is coming in 2027.
• FuelEU Maritime & EU ETS: decarbonisation reaches shippingSince 1 January 2025 FuelEU Maritime (Regulation (EU) 2023/1805) applies: ships above 5,000 GT calling at EU ports must cut the greenhouse-gas intensity of their energy — 2% in 2025, rising to 80% by 2050. Together with the EU ETS for shipping it puts a price on emissions.
• eCMR: the electronic consignment note in road transportThe eCMR is the digital consignment note with the same legal value as paper, based on the Additional Protocol to the CMR Convention (2008, in force 2011). More EU countries recognise it, and with eFTI the paper original disappears. What it means for road hauliers.
• Cyber Resilience Act: security requirements for connected productsThe Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) sets EU-wide security requirements for products with digital elements — from telematics to IoT sensors. Full application on 11 December 2027, reporting duties already from September 2026. What it means for transport and logistics.
• The European mobility data space: voluntary now, decisive laterThe common European mobility data space unlocks fragmented transport and mobility data. Participation is voluntary for now — unlike the Data Act or eFTI — but your future data position and interoperability depend on it. State of play and what to prepare now.
• eFTI: electronic freight information becomes the normFrom 9 July 2027 all EU authorities must accept electronic freight transport information (eFTI), exchanged via certified platforms. What the eFTI Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 means for carriers, forwarders and shippers — and how to prepare now.
• The Data Act for transport and logistics: who gets access to your vehicle and supply-chain data?The Data Act has applied since 12 September 2025 and affects anyone with connected vehicles, machines or sensors. It governs who can access the data they generate, enforces fair sharing terms, and makes switching between cloud services easier. What does that mean for transport and logistics?
• AI regulation in logistics and transport: four routes that hit the sectorWarehouse robots, planning algorithms, driver monitoring and traffic management — AI regulation reaches logistics and transport along four different routes, each with its own timeline. This file maps them, from the prohibition that already applies to the machinery requirements of 2027.
