Regulation (EU) 2020/1056

What the eFTI Regulation changes for digital freight information.

The eFTI Regulation creates an EU framework for economic operators to make freight transport regulatory information available electronically and for competent authorities to accept and process it through harmonised infrastructure.

01

The scope is broader than road freight

The European Commission describes the framework as applying across road, rail, inland waterway and air transport.

The exact information required for a movement depends on the applicable regulatory requirements represented by eFTI data subsets.

02

Full application starts in 2027

The Commission states that the Regulation applies in full from 9 July 2027 and that Member State authorities must then accept compliant electronic information shared via certified eFTI platforms.

That authority-acceptance framework should not be confused with a universal requirement that every freight document becomes digital on that date.
