Italy Pilot

The Crossborder use case successfully tested a cross-border transport from Italy to Austria using digital documentation through the e-CMR. The initiative demonstrated how digital technologies can improve police checks, boost efficiency, and enhance collaboration among operators, competent authorities, and industry associations. The use of digital documentation delivered tangible benefits in terms of competitiveness, reliability, and simplification of logistics processes.
