Regulatory

Mobility Package

The Mobility Package is a set of EU road transport reforms introduced in three waves (I, II, and III) from 2020 to create a fairer, safer, and more sustainable road transport sector across the EU.

How does the Mobility Package relate to sustainability?

On the surface, the Mobility Package may seem focused on drivers’ working conditions and cabotage, but these rules can also have a big impact on transport and logistics companies' sustainability.

For example, rules that limit the number of cross-border journeys ensure that LSPs who opt for more sustainable options aren’t disadvantaged against low-cost LSPs from countries with less sustainable transport. The measures under the Mobility Package also encourage investment in digital solutions that help track and optimize transport routes for efficiency, protecting the driver, and minimizing fuel use which helps reduce emissions.

How can LSPs and carriers comply with the Mobility Package?

If you operate road vehicles as part of your LSP or carrier business, then you need to be familiar with the rules under the Mobility Package. IRU (a permanent Delegation to the EU) has created an easy-to-navigate overview of the main elements of the Mobility Package, so this is the perfect place to start. The EU Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport’s website also addresses several questions that national authorities had sought clarification on.
